    City Blog CONGRATULATIONS ARSENAL!!! FA Cup Champions 2013/14!

    Arsenal snatched victory from the jaws of
    defeat to win a record-equalling 11th FA
    Cup, as they beat Hull City 3-2 in an
    enthralling encounter at Wembley
    Stadium.
    It had been 3,283 days since Arsenal last
    experienced last lifted silverware.
    And Wenger's men will be breathing an
    enormous sigh of relief tonight as goals from
    Santi Cazorla, Laurent Koscielny and an extra-
    time winner from Aaron Ramsey rescued the
    Gunners – and cancelled out early strikes from
    James Chester and Curtis Davies that had given
    Steve Bruce's men the lead inside eight minutes.
    The game began at a barnstorming pace and
    some had barely taken to their seats as Chester
    sent the Hull fans into delirium – and Bruce
    punched the air in delight.
    Stephen Quinn floated a corner into the path of
    Tom Huddlestone on the edge of the box, the
    former Spurs man hooked his volley into the path
    of Chester – who stuck out a foot and turned it
    past Lukasz Fabianski and into the bottom corner
    off a post.
    Just as Manchester City had a year earlier,
    Arsenal had taken to the Wembley field as
    overwhelming favourites – and like City 12
    months ago seemed to be shell-shocked by their
    opponents' drive, determination and positivity
    during the opening exchanges.
    And if they were pinching themselves after
    Chester's opener, moments later the Hull faithful
    were positively in dreamland as captain Davies
    made 2-0. Centre-back Bruce got on the end of
    another set piece and Fabianski could only parry
    the header onto the post and back into the path
    of Davies – who rifled home.
    Congrats to all Arsenal Fans
