FA Cup Final : Five Talking Points from Arsenal's extra-time win over Hull City

After being 2-0 down inside the opening 10 minutes, Arsenal showed plenty of commitment and character to come back and level the game at 2-2 in normal time, before snatching a late winner deep into extra time. Here are five talking points from the game.

#1 Arsenal finally end their trophy drought

The last time Arsenal won a trophy, an influential Frenchman was playing his last game for the club. The year was 2005, the trophy was the FA Cup and the player in question was Patrick Vieira. History repeated itself once again as another out-going Frenchman played his final game for the Gunners. Although Bacary Sagna isn’t nearly in the same class as Vieira, the full back has been an integral part of the Arsenal setup since his move to England.

The win over Hull means that Arsene Wenger finally has the monkey off his back, but the ride was anything but smooth. After going 2-0 down inside the opening 10 minutes, the odds were well and truly stacked against the Gunners. But, thanks to goals from Cazorla, Koscielny and Ramsey, the Gunners became the first club since Everton in 1966 to come back from 2-0 down to win the FA Cup. Having won the battle, the war now begins for Arsenal and Wenger as the expectations of the fans heighten next season.
