The date of the final clashed with Premier League fixtures,[5] it was scheduled to provide a clear four-week period between the end of the English season and the start of UEFA Euro 2012. - the construction is wrong - either convert the comma to a semicolon or period, or take out "it was" and flip the construction to something like "Scheduled to provide a clear four-week period between the end of the English season and the start of UEFA Euro 2012, the date of the final clashed with Premier League fixtures."

Ramires put Chelsea in front in the 11th minute after he disposed Liverpool midfielder Jay Spearing and beat Pepe Reina in the Liverpool goal - I'd add "area" after this, which sounds more natural to me.

The first half was dogged, with both sides enjoying long spells of possession, - not sure what you mean by "dogged" here. "Tough"/"even" ?

The second half began with immediate controversy, - sounds odd/stilted - rephrase.

This booked Chelsea's place in their first FA Cup Final since 2010, in which they beat Portsmouth. - could be trimmed to "This booked Chelsea's place in their first FA Cup Final since their 2010 triumph over Portsmouth."

in what was described as "arguably the biggest match of the season" for the two clubs at the time - reword so we don't need direct quotes.
removed this, don't think it's necessary. NapHit (talk) 16:13, 6 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
Chelsea's victory set up a Community Shield match against Manchester City, the winners of the 2011–12 Premier League. The two sides met in the Premier League three days after the final, a match that Liverpool won 4–1 - Huh? You're talking about Chelsea and Man City...and then mention Liverpool. Confusing....
