Nigerian international Victor Moses saw red as Arsenal stung Chelsea 2-1 at Wembley to lift the FA Cup and after all end what has been a miserable season on a high. Midfielder Aaron Ramsey grabbed the winner with a perfect header eleven minutes from time to deny their bitter London rivals the double they had hoped for after winning the league title.
Arsenal had gone ahead with a controversial goal through invaluable Alexis Sanchez with only four minutes played. And the Gunners could have lead 3-0 at halftime if they had been ruthless with their chances.
Having failed to kill the game, Diego Costa brought back the Blues into the game with a 76th minute equalizer. Wembley had turned blue. But the renewed hope for Chelsea fans was dashed three minutes later when Ramsey headed in a perfect cross from Mezil Ozil.
It was Arsene Wenger’s 7th FA Cup title as Arsenal manager and the Gunners’ third FA Cup triumph in four years.
The Arsenal coach, who had been heavily taunted by their own fans, and after failing to get Champions League qualification for the first time in 20 years, ended the season in style – overtaking Aston Villa’s George Ramsey as the FA Cup’s greatest manager.
