Fucking happy to win the Cup and always special to beat them. Regardless of the Europa aspect and what it means for the future of the club is just so special to win another Cup and confirm this as our competition. The 8th win in 9 finals in my time as an Arsenal fan. When they scored and we couldn't get into the game I thought it was anther Baku coming. That first 20 minutes it was so easy for then to walk through our midfield and they just had so much space. But we definitely had the better of the first half from the penalty on. And what a perfect penalty that was. Felt it could have been a red card too given he was pulled down from behind when through on goal but with our luck with VAR this season I almost expected them to overturn it. Weird getting to have a big game and get the better of all the decisions.
What a finish from Aubameyang for the second. He's just incredible. Only player we have who would start for every other club and we have to do everything possible to keep him, but if he does go he leaves as a club legend having won us a cup as Captain with the goals in the semi and final.
So happy for Martinez too. 10 years at the club waiting for his chance will all feel worth it now. And huge for Arteta to get the early trophy. No going forever without one like Moyes or Pochettino.
Where's that poster who said Aubameyang doesn't turn up in big games?
