Result: Arsenal 4-0 Aston Villa

Date: 30 May 2015

Venue: Wembley Stadium

Arsenal were crowned FA Cup champions for the second straight season after beating Aston Villa 4-0 at Wembley Stadium on Saturday evening.

The Gunners nearly broke the deadlock in the 15th minute but Shay Given was on hand to make a stunning save to keep out Laurent Koscielny's header.

The Gunners were presented with another chance five minutes later, as Aaron Ramsey broke into the box before poking the ball over the crossbar from 12-yards out.

It was all Arsenal in terms of chances created and they were eventually rewarded for their dominance just before the halftime break, as Theo Walcott volleyed home from 12-yards out, after getting on the end of Alexis Sanchez's knock-down.

Villa, meanwhile, were on the back foot for most of the first half and failed to register a single effort on target.

Arsenal doubled their lead shortly after the halftime break, as Sanchez cut inside before rifling home a powerful effort from 25-yards out.

The Gunners added a third goal after the hour mark, as a Per Mertesacker rose highest to turn home Santi Cazorla's in-swinging corner.

It was all one way traffic in the second half, as the Gunners continued to dictate play, although they struggled to create any openings in the final third.

Tim Sherwood's side failed to get any attacks going in the second half and much like the first half, they failed to test Arsenal goalkeeper, Wojciech Szczesny.

Olivier Giroud rounded off the scoring in stoppage, turning home Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's cross, as  the Gunners went on to claim their 12th FA Cup crown and Wenger's sixth.
