Arsenal have won the FA Cup for a record 13th time after defeating Chelsea 2-1 at Wembley Stadium.

Just five minutes into the match on Saturday, the Gunners moved in front through Alexis Sanchez. The goal was disallowed initially for offside when the linesman had his flag up for Aaron Ramsey, but the decision was overturned by the referee.

The Gunners missed a couple of good opportunities to double their lead, and instead, saw Diego Costa pull level with 14 minutes remaining.

But, just two minutes later, Ramsey headed-in the winner to hand Arsene Wenger his 7th FA Cup title and deny Chelsea a league and Cup double.
