    FA Cup final Highlights: Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea

    Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez speaking to BBC One: "I can't really talk. I said to him [Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang] before the game, you are going to win us the game."

    Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang speaking to BBC One: "Big respect for this man [Martinez].

    "We enjoyed toay. We are so happy. As you can see, Emi [Martinez] is crying. That shows, that winning this game and this trophy makes us so happy.

    "We deserved this win. He [Mikel Arteta] did a great job and we are so happy to have him on board."

    On Ian Wright celebrating his second goal: "Did he enjoy it? Wrighty! Wrighty in the 90s! I am right-footed so I went on the left and that's it.

    Can you tell us anything about your future? "Nothing. Just today and the trophy. That's it!"

  4. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang lifts the trophy off a plinth and carries it over to the rest of the team - then he drops it! It rolls off the stand and onto the turf. Oh dear.

    Never mind, now he can hoist it and the fireworks and tickertape can be launched!

    Out of a very bad crop of referees, Anthony Taylor is one of the worst. As a Spurs fan I don't favour either team here, but the standard of refereeing continues to let down English football.

  6. Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea

    Ian Wright
    Former Arsenal striker on BBC One

    It has been a magnificent effort from Mikel [Arteta] and the coaching staff. To end up winning the FA Cup and getting Arsenal back into Europe is a magnificent effort. I'm very proud of Arsenal today. They deserve that!

  7. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could not get out of his interview quicker when asked about his future...

    'Nothing, nothing' he says and then exits stage left.

  8. 'A touch of class'

    'Wow! What a finish!' - Aubameyang scores his second to put Arsenal ahead

    Arsenal were the better team. They defended better and when you have a touch of class up front with Aubameyang, you always have a chance. Arsenal defended and defended well. They deserved it.

  9. 'Chelsea were unfortunate'

    Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea

    Ian Wright
    Former Arsenal striker on BBC One

    Mikel Arteta has got everybody on side. What that says to me is that if he gets the backing he needs, he can get Arsenal back to where they want to be. I am so pleased!

    Chelsea were unfortunate with those injuries and they had some decisions which were very unfair on them.

  10. The win in numbers

    Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea

    Aubameyang levels from spot in FA Cup final after Azpilicueta foul

    Arsenal extend their record number of wins to 14 – two more than Manchester United. They have won 10% of all FA Cups

    Victory is their seventh this century and fourth in seven seasons.

    They have now beaten Chelsea in all three of their finals.

    They have triumphed in nine of their last 10 FA Cup finals, including each of the last seven in a row – matching Tottenham’s record between 1901 & 1982.

    Mikel Arteta becomes the fourth Spaniard to win the cup after Rafael Benitez, Roberto Martinez and Pep Guardiola .

    Arteta is the first person to win the FA Cup with Arsenal as both a captain and a manager.

    They will be playing in Europe for the 25th straight season– Wolves miss out unless they can win the Europa League.

    Former Chelsea and Arsenal defender on BBC One

    Arsenal did deserve it. Mikel Arteta has done a great job.

  12. 'Arsenal the better team'

    Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea

    Alan Shearer
    Former Newcastle captain on BBC One

    Arsenal were the better team, they showed great character after going behind and Chelsea didn't have a shot on target in the second half.

    Pulisic going off injured helped them.

  13. Trophy presentation

    There will be no presentation in the Royal Box and the post-match trophy presentation will take place on the pitch.

    Each club has been invited to bring 10 non-playing players to the Final and they will be sat in the red zone, which will allow them to join in the celebrations on pitch post-match.

    Only the winners will collect their medals, with no presentation for runners up or match officials - these medals will be given to the groups post-match.

  14. Four FA Cups in seven years for the Arsenal - here's the winning goal from their skipper.

    Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea

    Arsenal win the FA Cup for the 14th time!

  16. Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea

    Chris Sutton
    Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    This is such a big result for Mikel Arteta if Arsenal see this through. I don't think anyone thought they would win a trophy this season. They were a soft team. Not now. The penalty for Arsenal was a huge turning point. The second goal was one of the great FA Cup goals.

  17. Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea

    Pedro has been carried away on a stretcher and we are back playing again.

    A penalty which was a free kick out the box, and the harshest 2 yellows in the history of football, congrats Anthony Taylor, you've ruined a final.

    Matt, Cobham

    I'm a lifelong Arsenal fan but they have benefited from some utterly rank officiating. With VAR seemingly unwilling to overturn many decisions that should be the domestic league and cups have become a joke. Of course I want Arsenal to win, but fairly. Not Arsenal's fault, though.

  19. Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea

    Pedro is still being looked after by the medics. It's been a final which has really taken its toll on Chelsea.

  20. Final weekend in Italy

    Italian Serie A

    Speaking of Italy, it is the final weekend in Serie A and the top seven are all about to start their games.

    Can Atalanta score their 100th goal of the season, can Ciro Immobile break Gonzalo Higuain's goalscoring record and can Juventus avoid their lowest points total since they started winning the league every year?
