Arsenal rallied to beat Chelsea 2-1 to win a record 14th FA Cup title at Wembley on Saturday.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the toast for the Gunners, striking twice; first from the spot before completing the comeback with a cool finish to seal the win.
American Christian Pulisic had given the Blues an early 5th minute lead with another sumptuous strike.
Arsenal cemented their supremacy over Chelsea in the final with a third victory in four meets.

Arsenal, who finished 8th in the Premier League, also secured themselves European football next season, and maybe with that Aubameyang may sign a new contract.
