• 

  ARSENAL PLAYER RATINGS: Emiliano Martínez - 7: Called into action in first few minutes, saving well from Mount. Very nearly handled outside the box with 10 minutes left but another good performance overall from the Argentine goalkeeper. EPA

• 

  Rob Holding - 6: Like the rest of Arsenal's defence, struggled to contain Pulisic. Would have been delighted to see the American carried from pitch just after break. EPA

• 

  David Luiz - 7: Not as impressive as his semi-final showing but a good effort nonetheless from the Brazilian. Getty

• 

  Kieran Tierney - 7: Couldn't stop Pulisic scoring opening goal but produced good performance on the left of a back three. Was always looking to get Aubameyang away down the left. Getty

• 

  Hector Bellerin - 6: Usual reliable performance in midfield. Appeared to foul Christensen is run-up to winning goal. Getty

• 

  Dani Ceballos - 8: Some quality passing from midfield by the Spaniard who ran Aubameyang close for man of the match. PA

• 

  Granit Xhaka - 7: Typical no-nonsense display from the Swiss midfielder. AFP

• 

  Nicolas Pepe - 6: Fabulous finish in first half but was denied goal as Aumameyang had been flagged offside earlier in move. Typical performance from the £72 million (Dh346m) man - flashes of quality but also lack of consistency with final product. Getty

• 

  Ainsley Maitland-Niles - 7: Fantastic run and cross to give Aubameyang early chance. Caused Chelsea problems down the left. Reuters

• 

  Alexandre Lacazette - 6: Cracked free-kick well wide when perfectly placed outside the box. Few other chances to shine from the French attacker. Getty

• 

  Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - 8: Headed very good early chance wide. Drew foul from Azpilicueta to win penalty then produced ultra-cool finish from the spot to make the score 1-1. Skipped past Zouma like he wasn't there before brilliant chip for second goal. Getty

  CHELSEA PLAYER RATINGS: Willy Caballero - 6: Sent wrong way on penalty, then beaten by chipped finish for second but not to blame for either goal. Getty

• 

  Antonio Rudiger - 6: Like rest of Chelsea defence, never totally convincing. Booked for touchline spat with Gunners manager Arteta. Reuters

• 

  Cesar Azpilicueta - 5: Tough old final for Spaniard. Booked for clumsy foul on Aubameyang that gifted Arsenal chance to equalise from the spot. Limped off the pitch with what looked like a pulled hamstring just after the half-hour mark. AFP

• 

  Kurt Zouma - 6: Beaten too easily by Aubameyang for second goal. Getty

• 

  Marcos Alonso - 6: Tried to make things happen out wide with little success. Reuters

• 

  Reece James - 6: Thumped decent second-half chance well over the bar. AFP

• 

  Mateo Kovacic - 7: Poor decision saw him given second yellow in second half and sent-off. Had been playing well in midfield. Reuters

• 

  Jorginho - 6: Blazed glorious chance over the bar in first half. Getty

• 

  Mason Mount - 6: Saw early curling shot saved by Martinez after just three minutes and played a key role in opening goal. Him and Pulisic ran Arsenal ragged at early in the game. Influence waned as match went on Getty

• 

  Christian Pulisic - 8: Showed lovely quick feet and a composed finish to become the first American to score in FA Cup final. Tormented Arsenal coming inside from wide positions early on. Appeared to pull hamstring when shooting wide early in second half and was helped from pitch in agony. EPA

• 

  Olivier Giroud - 6: Nice flick from the former Gunner to help set up Pulisic's goal but quiet game overall. Reuters

• 

  SUBS: Andreas Christensen (On for Pulisic 35') 6: Early introduction after Pulisic's injury and did OK but loss of American cost Chelsea their biggest attacking threat. Getty

• 

  Pedro - (On for Pulisic 49') 6: Sad end to Chelsea career for Roma-bound Spaniard who was stretchered off the pitch and needed oxygen after picking up what looked like a dislocated shoulder. Reuters

Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang once again lit up Wembley as his brace ensured FA Cup final victory over 10-man Chelsea.

The striker equalised with a penalty he had won himself to cancel out Christian Pulisic's early opener.

Chelsea then lost Cesar Azpilicueta and Pulisic to injury before Aubameyang brilliantly added his second to secure a 2-1 victory and then lifted a record 14th FA Cup for the Gunners.

Chelsea then had Mateo Kovacic sent off as they chased the game, the Croatia international picking up two bookings, both for fouls on Granit Xhaka with the second a controversial call from referee Anthony Taylor.

Aubameyang's future at Arsenal remains in doubt as he has less than a year to run on his contract, but after downing Manchester City with two goals in the semi-final, he again showed his importance to Mikel Arteta's side.

For Arteta, this was a first piece of silverware in a managerial career that only began in December and sees Arsenal qualify for the Europa League next season.

The Spaniard said: "It was a difficult start when we conceded so early. If I know something about these players, is that we weren't going to give up.

"We played probably the best 30 minutes after since I arrived. I am so proud to represent these players and this club.

"It is a double reward for us. It is really important for this club in every way to be in Europe. We all did it so I am so happy."

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard said: "We started well for 10-15 minutes and we can only blame ourselves form that point. We got complacent, we took time on the ball like it was a stroll and we allowed them into the game."
