Holders Arsenal won the FA Cup for a record 12th time after beating Aston Villa 4-0 in a one-sided final at Wembley.
The
Gunners were in control for almost the entire match and deservedly took
the lead in the 41st minute through Theo Walcott, who was preferred up
front to Olivier Giroud.
Alexis Sanchez doubled the advantage with
a fantastic strike shortly after half-time and Per Mertesacker headed
in a third after 62 minutes.
Giroud then capped off a dominant display by netting the fourth in
injury-time as Arsenal became only the eighth team to retain the FA Cup
and the most succesful side in the competition's long history.
The
victory also ensured Arsene Wenger became the first manager in the
post-war period to win the trophy six times, former Villa boss George
Ramsay securing his sixth back in 1920.
While it was delight for Wenger and Arsenal, it was disappointment for
Villa, who were unable to reproduce the performance that saw them beat
Liverpool in the semi-finals.
But what would you say about a rash conclusion of an Aston Villa fan which he will always rue and never forget.
There are some things in football which supporters definitely should not do.
You definitely never, ever get tattoos about your team's
success before it happens. You'll be left with a lifelong reminder of
your failings.
Unfortunately, the final point is precisely what
an Aston Villa fan did prior to the FA Cup final this weekend and
that fan is definitely going to hate himself for that decision.
