Posted on by Newswatchnigeria

90+4′

FULL TIME! Arsenal win yet another FA Cup. Wenger was under pressure. He had Per Mertesacker starting his first game of the season, and his first time in a back three, and he was brillant. Sanchez and Ozil threatened, Giroud was on hand on the end. They showed bottle and resolve, and they were by far the better side. Chelsea… just didn’t turn up.
