7. Wenger delivers back-to-back FA Cups

Arsenal secured its first trophy of the 2014/15 season with an impressive 3-0 defeat of Manchester City in the Community Shield.

The Gunners then won their opening match 2-1 over Crystal Palace at home which was followed by a less than impressive run of results:

8/23 Everton 2-2 Arsenal
8/31 Leicester 1-1 Arsenal
9/13 Arsenal 2-2 Manchester City
9/20 Aston Villa 0-3 Arsenal
9/27 Arsenal 1-1 Tottenham

Despite all the draws, Arsenal finished September in fourth position with ten points.

October began with a 2-0 loss at Chelsea followed by a 2-2 draw at home to Hull. The Gunners had just 11 points from seven matches and sat in seventh position.

In the end, Arsenal finished third overall and won the team’s 12th FA Cup with a 4-0 defeat of Aston Villa.
