    Hull captain Curtis Davies speaking to ITV: "When they got tired they still had the quality. We gave everything but we are left feeling flat. It was a hard game to throw away from 2-0 up but that's what we did. I'd sooner have no plaudits and win, than have the plaudits and not be getting a medal."

    Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere on BBC Radio 5 live: "It's amazing, I've won the FA Youth Cup before but it's nothing like this - this is for the fans. You could see at the end a few players had injuries but we dug in and carried on. All the credit goes to the boys - it was easy for me to come and help us get across the line, but all credit goes to them. It's been a long nine years for the fans- they fill the Emirates every week and this is for them."

    Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger speaking to ITV: "We wanted to make history tonight and win the game and we did that in both ways - how not to start the Cup final and how to come back.

    "I think it was a turning point in the life time of this team - to know they can win in that way was really important today.

    "It would have been terrible [to lose] but we came back. I've praised the spirit of this team and they showed that today."

    On his future: "I always said my future doesn't depend on this but I always wanted to stay."

    Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky on BBC Radio 5 live: "It is difficult to describe, we have been waiting a very long time for this moment and it's finally here. It's very exciting. The whole club needed this trophy and finally we have got it I hope it will help us for next season. Some of the players have never won anything and this is the first time for them."

    Hull players slumped to the turf on the final whistle. They came into the game with nothing to lose as outsiders and with Europa League football already assured. Eight minutes and two goals later though, they had it all to lose.

    Ultimately they succumbed, but they did their darnedest to hang on to it and were ultimately undone by a great goal.

    Nicholas:, external Ending a nine-year drought easily would have been anticlimactic. This is much better.

    Arsenal match-winner Aaron Ramsey speaking to ITV: "I get emotional thinking about it. We have conceded early in lots of big games this season, but we showed great strength of character to come back and to score the winner is something I have dreamed off.

    "This one is for the manager and the fans who have already believed in us, even when things have not gone well for us."

    Sone Aluko again! The Hull striker drills a low shot through a forest of legs and an unsighted lukasz Fabianski only just gets down in time to keep it out.

    Kitchen sink time for the Tigers.

    George:, external Aaron Ramsey you beautiful man! Just need to hold on…

    Adam:, external Two or three great passes from Wilshere have helped to open up the game. Can Arsenal hold on? Hull look exhausted.

    Joe:, external An assist and finish worthy of wining any cup final. If anyone deserves that, it's Aaron Ramsey.

    The engraver has already started putting Arsenal's name on the cup. He almost has to get the solder out as Hull come close to a leveller

    Per Mertesacker slips, Lukasz Fabianski rushes out, but is beaten to the ball by Sone Aluko. The Hull substitute has a sight of an unguarded goal, but he is almost by the corner flag. His effort flies across the face with Ahmed Elmohamady unable to get a touch.

    Hull are trying to up the pace. The mind is willing but the legs are struggling. Ahmed Elmohamady mis-places a pass back to one of his centre-backs and Yaya Sanogo almost gives Arsenal a fourth.

    Arsenal are taking their sweet time over things now. A few more seconds are flushed away as they call up Lukasz Fabianski to take a free-kick deep in their half.

    "It had to be Aaron Ramsey. He has had a terrific season. He is always energetic, always looking to get in that box and it was a good finish."

  19. GOALpublished at 19:21 British Summer Time 17 May 2014

    They might not need those penalties this time.

    A clever backheel from Olivier Giroud picks out Aaron Ramsey and the Welshman rifles a shot first-time past Allan McGregor and inside the near post. Lovely goal.

    Arsenal have won every game in which Ramsey has scored this season.
