Arsenal 4-0 Aston Villa: Arsenal win 12th FA Cup
Arsenal retained the FA Cup with a dominant
victory over Aston Villa to become the most
successful team in the competition's history.

After heavy first-half pressure, Theo Walcott
volleyed the Gunners deservedly ahead just before
the break.

Alexis Sanchez's swerving second-half 25-yard
strike doubled the lead as Arsenal created a
plethora of chances.
Villa's misery deepened as Per Mertesacker headed
in a third before Olivier Giroud tapped home late
on.
It was a record 12th time the Gunners had lifted
the trophy, with Arsene Wenger becoming the first
post-war manager to win it six times.
Arsenal controlled the match from the start,
having 16 shots compared to Aston Villa's two,
although Tim Sherwood's men did have two penalty
claims turned down late on.
