5 things we learned from Arsenal’s FA Cup win over Chelsea

May 27, 2017

Arsene Wenger’s done it again.

Arsenal have won their 13 FA Cup trophy and Wenger’s won his seventh.

Other than the fact that we’re awesome, what did we learn during Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Chelsea in the FA Cup final?

Everyone was a little shocked when Dave was picked to start in the FA Cup final against Chelsea over the far more experienced Petr Cech, especially since he’s set to leave in the summer.

The Colombian had already made four FA Cup appearances this season but during such a big game you’d expect your number one goalkeeper to be selected.

Sure enough, the goalkeeper got injured at one point. Although he was fine afterwards.

I’m sure there aren’t any other ‘keepers on this planet who roll around as much as Dave?

He did pull off a couple of decent saves against Chelsea though so credit’s where it’s due.
