On the evening, the FA Cup final was played at the "Wembley" stadium between London's "Arsenal" and Birmingham's "Aston Villa".
The "Gunners", who last year ended a 10-year title drought in the same tournament, sought to lift the trophy for the second consecutive time, while Tim Sherwood's students tried to redeem themselves after a poor season in the Premier League, narrowly avoiding relegation.
In the first half, as expected, the "Arsenal" team was more active, and their attacking game bore fruit - after a few thwarted shots, Theo Walcott managed to break through the opponents' defense.
After the break, Arsene Wenger's players did not stop, and at the beginning of the second half, Alexis Sanchez scored an impressive long-range shot. Then Per Mertesacker added a goal with a header after Santi Cazorla's corner kick, and in the final minutes of the match, Olivier Giroud sealed the convincing victory.
This was the 12th FA Cup in the history of "Arsenal", distancing the capital club from the "Manchester United" team that has lifted the trophy 11 times.
Result:
"Arsenal" 4 - 0 "Aston Villa"
[1-0] 40' Theo Walcott
[2-0] 50' Alexis Sanchez
[3-0] 62' Per Mertesacker
[4-0] 90' Olivier Giroud
