Arsenal have won the FA Cup for the 14th time after beating London rivals Chelsea 2-1 in this seasonโs final played on Saturday at Wembley Stadium.
Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the unsung hero as the Gunners rallied from behind to secure the victory after Chelsea had made a bright start to the match.
Chelsea took the lead inside five minutes through Christian Pulisicโs smart finish. But Aubameyang ย drew Arsenal level from the penalty spot before the break after he was fouled by Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta.
The Gabon international then produced a moment of world-class finishing to make the defining contribution to the first behind-closed-doors FA Cup final.
Chelsea finished the game with 10 men as midfielderย Matteo Kovacic was very harshly sent off for a second yellow card.
By virtue of the win, Arsenal, who finished 8th in the Premier League will play in Europa League next season.
