Ramsey’s Cup message for Wenger

Substitute Raheem Sterling had a goal ruled out in the first half as a result of Child’s intervention, when it shood have stood.

Arsenal substitute, Danny Welbeck nearly got that victor for the Gunners however, only to see his shot to beat Claudio Bravo and go inches wide of goal.

Wenger again refused to be drawn on his future – with many fans who are smarting from 13 years without a Premier League trophy, or even a genuine title tilt seeing a win against the West Londoners as the flawless way to end his Arsenal career.

Speaking on BT Sport’s Premier League Tonight show, Ferdinand said: “I don’t think they will finish in the top four”. In the first half maybe we were a bit cautious, accepting to be dominated, and then we became stronger and stronger.

“Yes, of course. I work until the last day of the season for the present and the future”.

“Today we have shown the right response, that we are capable to be together”.

“Overall I am very pleased”.

“We need to keep getting three points every game to hope that we can get the automatic qualification for the Champions League next season”. We knew how good they are in front and how fast they are in the counter attack but we controlled them.

His final words in one television interview may, however, have been significant: “People can not question my loyalty and commitment to the club”.

“We performed like we would want to in a final”, he said. We did absolutely everything to play.

“We’ll improve next season”.

A RECORD seventh FA Cup success for Arsene Wenger at Arsenal will mean little to Petr Cech if they miss out on the Champions League.

“That is the second time we played this formation so credit to the boys”.

“This victory has allowed us to regain confidence and keep calm, even if not everything was ideal”.

Both teams went close before the 90 minutes elapsed: Toure’s hooked volley hit the post via a fingertip save from Cech, while substitute Danny Welbeck cut in and whipped a rising shot just wide.
