27 May 2017: Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-1 to win the FA Cup for a record 13th time.
It also made Arsene Wenger the manager with the most FA Cup victories in history. Alexis and Ramsey got the goals, while Moses was sent off for one of the most blatant and appalling dives in the history of the FA Cup.
It also made Arsenal the only team to win the FA Cup three times in four years, twice. The results also meant Arsenal won nine of their final ten games of the season.
As things stand in 2021 Arsenal have won the FA Cup 14 times, and been runners’ up seven times making a total of 21 appearances. The nearest team to them are Manchester United with 12 wins and eight defeats in the final, making 20 appearances.
Chelsea and Tottenham are next with eight wins and Liverpool come in fifth with seven, half the number of wins that Arsenal have had – although they have equalled Arsenal for being losing finalists seven times.
Mr Wenger is also the person to have won the FA Cup more than any other single person with seven victories to his name. Even the managers from the late 19th century when only a handful of teams entered the competition did not get to that total.
