Arsenal 0-1 Chelsea
One bonus of having no fans in at Wembley is that they've found room for some super fancy camera angles for the replays. Looks class - we'll have the clip of that goal for you here soon.
Christian Pulisic is running the show, dancing away from Rob Holding and lashing in another shot which Emi Martinez saves.

It's an American dream for Christian Pulisic! It's really well worked and Mason Mount is an integral part of the move. Pulisic lifts the ball over Emiliano Martínez. It's a brilliant composed finish.
Arsenal 0-1 Chelsea
The game is being played at a very pleasing tempo as Nicolas Pepe hits a speculative strike from range for Arsenal but it's an easy save for Willy Caballero. More goals in this - as I read that Chelsea have never lost an FA Cup final when they have taken the lead.

Christian Pulisic has proved his manager right there for picking him and not Willian. A great start for Chelsea! It's really open which is just what we wanted to see. Mason Mount drifted in off the right side. The two centre-midfielders for Arsenal need to be wary.
Arsenal 0-1 Chelsea
The first American to score in an FA Cup final. And a great goal it was too.
Christian Pulisic (5 mins)
What a start! Chelsea lead and it's a fine goal. Christian Pulisic takes the ball on in midfield and feeds Mason Mount. He gets into the area and squares it, Olivier Giroud does what Olivier Giroud does best, just helps it on around the corner first time and Pulisic had carried on his run and dinks it into the back of the net.
Took that brilliantly!
Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea
It's already a good Cup final - that's two chances already! Here come Chelsea, Mason Mount runs at the defence and hits a decent strike from 20-odd yards.
Unfortunately for Chelsea David de Gea is not in nets - Emiliano Martinez flies to his left to push it away.
Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea
First chance of the day and it falls for the Arsenal skipper! Ainsley Maitland-Niles is playing left wing-back today and he does well to keep the ball in before crossing early. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is free at the front post, hangs well but then heads it wide. Good chance!
Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea
Whatever happens, I just hope for your sake that it's a better game than last night's French League Cup final which was atrociously dull.
Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea

There's so much at stake - two rookie managers who have both impressed this season. There can only be one winner.
Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea
Under way!

Here we go then. Red or blue?

The two teams and match officials collectively gather around the centre-circle to acknowledge the Heads Up campaign and to send a powerful message about the nation’s mental health.
Players and match officials will hear 60 seconds of uplifting audio accompanied by an impactful video played on the stadium’s big screens.
The artificial ‘crowd noise’ is in fact made up of real-life conversations about mental health.
70 years (SEVENTY) at the same workplace! That's astonishing.

Ken Friar celebrates 70 years as a full-time employee of Arsenal today and he receives a fitting tribute with two huge flags stretching across one end of Wembley.
One reads "Thanks You For 70 Years Ken Friar" and the other "A Lifetime Of Dedication".
The long-serving managing director and club secretary is a truly remarkable figure in the club's history and the 85-year-old is here at the FA Cup Final.

Here come the players - Alan Shearer predicts extra-time which we could all do without...
The National Anthem will be performed live within the stadium bowl by the British Youth Opera, with the instrumental provided by The Massed Bands of the Household Division.
I didn't even know you could get on to the roof.
Arsenal v Chelsea (17:30 BST)
This season ‘Abide with Me’ will be performed by Brit and BET award winning artist Emeli Sandé from the roof top of Wembley Stadium. This is pre-recorded and is not a live performance.
The last time Emeli performed this was at the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics and it will be the first time in history that an artist has performed on the roof of Wembley Stadium.
That's a long way up!
