A superb free-kick from Santi Cazorla led Arsenal to fight back from two goals down to beat Hull City 3-2 in a scintillating FA Cup final on Saturday.
The Gunners came into the match as heavy favourites to end their nine-year wait for silverware, but found themselves two goals down inside the opening nine minutes.
James Chester side-footed home from a Tom Huddlestone drive before captain Curtis Davies fired into the net from an acute angle after Alex Bruce's header had hit the post.
But Cazorla hauled Arsenal back into the game with a stunning free-kick in the 17th minute.
Bruce's foul on Cazorla gave Arsenal a free-kick 25 yards out and the diminutive Spaniard picked himself up to curl the ball into the top right-hand corner of the net.
Hull goalkeeper Allan McGregor got his fingertips to the ball but could only divert it on to the underside of the bar and in.
Laurent Koscielny's 71st-minute leveller forced the game into extra time before Aaron Ramsey completed the comeback in the 19th minute of extra time.
