10 of the best ever Arsenal comeback wins

FA Cup Final 2014: Arsenal 3-2 Hull

Heading into the 2014 FA Cup Final, the pressure was on the Gunners as Wenger’s side had not won a trophy since the 2005 FA Cup. The grumbling of the fans was constant and the first cracks in Wenger’s stature were starting to show.

Arsenal was heavily favored against Hull City who finished the season more than 40 points behind the Gunners and just four points above the relegation zone. Most viewers were confident that it would be an easy win for the Londoners.

Eight minutes after kick off, that confidence had faded and a sense of dread came over Arsenal fans from wherever they were viewing this match. Goals from James Chester and Curtis Davies had the Tigers up by two.

Nerves were settled a bit when the always-reliable Santi Cazorla scored a beautiful goal from 27 yards out on a free kick. If he doesn’t score that goal, Arsenal don’t win that final.

Hull held the lead 2-1 with less than twenty minutes remaining on the clock.

Arsenal was awarded a corner in the 71st minute. Bacary Sagna rose to meet the ball and his deflected shot was met by Koscielny who swiveled and sent the ball into the Hull goal.

The match was level at the end of 90 minutes and the game went into added extra time. The tension was palpable with the outcome yet to be decided and just eleven minutes of added time remaining.

It was Welshman Aaron Ramsey who played the hero’s role on this day. His winning strike in the 109th minute led to extraordinary scenes of his teammates and the Arsenal supporters celebrating wildly.

Ramsey’s strike took away the possibility of the match being decided on penalties and saved the reputation of his long-time manager.

The Gunners hung on to finish out the match and Wenger’s side won its first trophy in nine years by a final score of 3-2.
