Aubameyang Writes History As He Guides Arsenal To FA Cup Glory

Arsenal rallied to beat Chelsea 2-1 to win a record 14th FA Cup title at Wembley on Saturday.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the toast for the Gunners, striking twice; first from the spot before completing the comeback with a cool finish to seal the win.

American Christian Pulisic had given the Blues an early 5th minute lead with another sumptuous strike.

Arsenal cemented their supremacy over Chelsea in the final with a third victory in four meets.

Aubameyang became the first African to start and win an FA Cup final as captain, while Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta became the first person to bag the title as both captain and manager.

Arsenal, who finished 8th in the Premier League, also secured themselves European football next season, and maybe with that Aubameyang may sign a new contract.
