FA Cup 2019-20 Final: ARS 2-1 CHE - Aubameyang's brace secure next season Europa League spot for Gunners

Arsenal Gabonese pro striker celebrates after scoring against Chelsea in their FA Cup Final inside Wembley Stadium

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's as double steered Arsenal to FA Cup glory against 10-man Chelsea on Saturday evening.


The Gunners trailed after Christian Pulisic opened the scoring in the fifth minute, scything through Arsenal's midfield and defence with an incisive move.

But Arsenal captain Aubameyang was on hand to equalise just before the half-hour mark, drawing a foul in the box from Cesar Azpilicueta and sending Willy Caballero the wrong way from the spot.

And the Gabon star ensured he will be remembered for generations to come as he dinked an effort over the goalkeeper in the second half to put Arsenal on course for victory.

Mateo Kovacic was sent off late on for a second bookable offence - with the second booking considered a very soft decision - while Chelsea's hopes were also dented by hamstring injuries to Azpilicueta and Pulisic.

A good and proper cup final comeback gives the Gunners the trophy again!

Arsenal extend their remarkable number of FA Cup wins to 14! That's 10% of all the FA Cups ever to have been played.

And it's disappointment for Frank Lampard after his impressive first season in charge of Chelsea.
