Gunners End Trophy Drought

After what has been an exciting season in the FA Cup, the final took place on Saturday with Arsenal facing Hull who were making their first appearance in the Wembley showpiece while Arsenal were looking for a first trophy in nine years.

Hull made a spectacular start as they went 2-0 up inside eight minutes, Chester put them in front after only four minutes with the second strike coming in the eighth minute through Davies whose effort had the Hull fans in dreamland.

Arsenal responded with Cazorla reducing the deficit in the 17th minute but Hull held the lead past the hour mark and looked to be on their way to a historic win until the 71st minute when Koscielny levelled for Arsenal from close range.

Neither side were able to find a winning goal in the remaining 19 minutes and the final went to extra time and with only eleven minutes left before a potential penalty shootout, Hull's dream of a first final win shattered when Ramsey complete the stunning comeback for Arsenal with the winning goal in the 109th minute to secure a 3-2 win and their first trophy win since 2005.
