FT: ARSENAL ARE THE FA CUP CHAMPIONS! The goal that won Arsenal a record 14th FA Cup crown was worthy of winning any match from Aubameyang, and underlined just how important he is to this Arsenal side. It is the Europa League for Arsenal, with Wolves missing out on Europe as a result! Thanks for joining us. Goodnight.
Arsenal do get Kolasinac onto the pitch as he takes the place of Kieran Tierney. He'll get a few seconds.

Pedro's time in England ends of a stretcher. Not the final memory he would have wanted...
Delay in play here as Pedro receives some treatment. His game may be up, which is not how he would have wanted to bow out.
NO PENALTY! Pedro goes sprawling to the floor looking for a penalty, but the referee is having none of it.
Abraham cannot quite latch onto the loose ball in the penalty area. Chelsea are committing more and more bodies forward.
Aimless crosses galore here from Chelsea. They are not getting anywhere.
Seven minutes of added time at the end of this. Plenty of time!
Yellow card for Barkley now for a late lunge on Nketiah. Chelsea offering very little as a threat here.

R. Barkley
Change for Arsenal with David Luiz seemingly limping off, and Sokratis on in his pace.

S. Papastathopoulos

David Luiz
Pepe clips a cross into the middle but it is cleared by Chelsea.
Nothing given on Martinez. Change for Arsenal, with Eddie Nketiah on for Lacazette.

E. Nketiah

A. Lacazette
Did Martinez handle that outside the penalty area? VAR will have a look.
Triple change for Chelsea. One final roll of the dice. Mount, Giroud and Rudiger make way for Tammy Abraham, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ross Barkley.

T. Abraham
Off
O. Giroud
Won't be on Chelsea's Christmas card list for sure.
That must be a first, with Arteta shown a yellow card on the bench! First manager to be booked in a FA Cup final.
Chelsea are losing their heads a little here, with Rudiger the next to go into the book.
Yellow card
A. Rüdiger
RED CARD! Second yellow card for Kovacic and he is off. Did not look to be much in that to be honest. Xhaka seemed to make the most of the foul.
Red card
M. Kovacic
He just cannot stop scoring in this competition.
What can Chelsea do here? Without Pulisic they look much less of a threat.
