Arsenal vs Southampton

A season of disappointment ends in happiness for the Gunners. No Treble or Double but the FA Cup will have to do. And their players are delighted.

Southampton kept going until the end but Arsenal had the class to win it and they deserved the win. David Seaman will lift the trophy in those 'safe hands' of his.

That's it. Arsenal have their piece of silver, Southampton ran out of gas after a great effort.
