2015 – Arsenal 4-0 Aston Villa

Path to the 2015 FA Cup final:

  • Third-round: Arsenal 2–0 Hull City
  • Fourth-round: Brighton & Hove Albion 2–3 Arsenal
  • Fifth-round: Arsenal 2–0 Middlesbrough
  • Sixth-round: Manchester United 1–2 Arsenal
  • Semi-Final: Reading 1–2 (a.e.t.) Arsenal
  • Final: Arsenal 4-0 Aston Villa

Arsenal returned to Wembley in 2015 for another FA Cup final. This time Aston Villa was the opponent.

This contest was more like a walk in the park for the Gunners. They dominated the game to the point that Villa was unable to register even one shot on target and just two shots overall.

Theo Walcott gave his side a lead with a goal in the 40th minute. Despite just a one-goal halftime lead, the match never seemed to be in doubt.

Second-half goals from Alexis Sanchez, Per Mertesacker, and Olivier Giroud finished the job. Arsenal secured back-to-back FA Cup wins for the second time in the team’s history.
