I'll take a look at this shortly. Harrias ^talk 07:13, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

References

Ref #2 lists BBC Sport as a work/website, rather than a published as the majority do. It also doesn't link it.
Ref #28 should be marked as subscription access.
Ref #29 is formatted differently to the other Football Association sources. Same for ref #35. (But not ref #39, that is free to access for all. No idea why.)
Note #a could do with a reference.
With the small exceptions listed above, the references are all formatted consistently, appropriately formatted, and are to reliable sources.

Images

Let's get rid of the programme cover, per the discussions about most of these: it doesn't seem a justifiable non-free use rationale, though the argument is probably better for this one than many others, given it is a picture of the trophy.
The other images are all appropriately licensed and captioned with alt text.

Prose

"The match went into extra time, during which both Pedro and Álvaro Morata dismissed, each for two yellow cards." Missing "were" in front of "dismissed". It could also do with clarifying which team they played for: one from each team, both from Chelsea, both from Norwich?
"..when he wasn brought.." Typo.
"..with two goals from Batshuayi and a one from Marcos Alonso." Stray "a".
"..and into the FA Cup Final for the second successive season." Feels like this is missing a word between "and" and "into".
"United dominated the game won 2–0 with late goals.." Again, feels like it is missing a word (or more), between "game" and "won".
"..which ended in a 4–0 for United.." And again.
"..a late goal from the United defender Nemanja Matić secured his side 2–0 victory.." Two many full-stops at the end. Matić normally plays as a midfielder, and based on the line-ups, it looks like that is how he was used in this match too?
"..in the 1983 final for United and scoring in the drawn first match.." I was confused by "and scoring in the drawn first match", it might be easier to remove it.
Link Assistant referee (association football), Fourth official and Fifth official (the latter two are actually redirects to the first, but I think it is better to link them all, they are all plausible things for readers to want to know more about.)
"..that his future would with the club.." Too many words.
Fabregas needs to be Fàbregas every time. (Five occasions in the first half section.)
Matic needs to be Matić every time. (Once in each half.)
"From the set piece, Young's cross was cleared by Gary Cahill but a mistake from Phil Jones allowed Sánchez an opportunity: his shot was saved by the outstretched leg of De Gea." I know that this is what the source says, but unless Sánchez had gone rogue, it is clearly wrong: Jones, Sánchez and De Gea all play for the same team.
"..who saw the first yellow card of the game." "received" might work better than "saw".
"It was the first penalty scored out a shootout.." Missing a word.
Wikilink "wall" to a suitable article.
"Neil Swarbrick ([Lancashire)" Stray square bracket.
"..declared that "this was a dreadful final." Firstly, it definitely was. Secondly, the quote is missing a closing quotation mark.
Worth adding that Chelsea returned to the final in 2020, their third in four seasons?

That's it for a first pass. Will stick this on hold. Harrias ^talk 15:38, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Harrias cheers, all addressed. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 10:46, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to pass this now. Any chance you could pop back and have a look at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of international goals scored by Alfredo Di Stéfano/archive1? Harrias ^talk 12:35, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
