Arsenal won 2–1 after extra time, with all three goals coming in the added half hour.Steve Heighway scored for Liverpool first, before Arsenal equalised with a scrambled goal from substitute Eddie Kelly - the first time a substitute had ever scored in an FA Cup final. Charlie George scored a dramatic winner late in extra time.

The game was the second half of Arsenal's first League and FA Cup double, the first double achieved by any club since Tottenham Hotspur's double in 1961. The first half had been achieved through Arsenal's league victory over Tottenham the previous week.

1979 Cup Winners - Alan Sunderland decides ''the five minute Final'' as Arsenal beat Man Utd 3-2

It is widely regarded as one of the greatest-ever finishes in an FA Cup final. For over 85 minutes the game had been unremarkable, with Arsenal taking a 2–0 half time lead through goals from Brian Talbot and Frank Stapleton. In the 86th minute, however, Gordon McQueen scored following a set-piece, and two minutes later Sammy McIlroy dribbled past two Arsenal players to score a dramatic equaliser. With the game poised for extra time, United's celebrations proved short-lived, as Alan Sunderland scored a last-minute winner.

West Ham v Arsenal 1980 FA Cup Final

This time around it was Second Division Hammer’s turn to be the underdogs against Terry Neill’s FA Cup holders Arsenal, making their record third successive final appearance.

In this, the 99th final, it took only 13 minutes for the Hammers to break the dead-lock, when Trevor Brooking was on-hand to head the ball past Pat Jennings in the Arsenal goal.

And with a goal in the bag – West Ham United’s astute manager John Lyall played all the right cards. Using David Cross as a lone striker and Stuart Pearson slightly withdrawn in the midfield, the Hammers simply out-foxed the Gunners in all areas.

Arsenal v Liverpool 1971 FA Cup Final

Having all already clinched the league title, the Gunners headed for Wembley chasing that all elusive double. Facing what was to be the second of Bill Shankly’s great sides, it took extra time and a moment of class to separate these two giants of the English game.

Regarded as one of the most enduring images of FA Cup final history, Charlie George lay flat on his back having clinched the winning goal deep in extra time, after both teams had endured a match of pulsating football and a hatful of missed chances.

With the score line level at the end of ninety minutes, were Arsenal to rue their missed chances, as Kennedy, Armstrong and Radford all passed up opportunities, and were Liverpool now believing with the introduction of Thompson, that this could be their day.

And it certainly did seem like being Liverpool’s day when Heighway drove the ball past Wilson from an acute angle, with only two minutes of extra-time played. But the willpower and perseverance that Arsenal had displayed all season once again stood them in good stead, as they dug deep to clinch the cup.

First it was Graham who levelled, and then with eight minutes remaining, Charlie George struck an unstoppable twenty-yard shot, and cue the famous celebration.

Arsenal celebrated and the Double was completed. It was a final that will never be forgotten, so own a piece of history in this specially produced programme.

Arsenal v Sheffield Wednesday 1993 FA Cup Final

In the Premiership’s inaugural season, Arsenal once again created history by becoming the first Club ever to attain a domestic cup double, winning both the FA Cup and League Cup in the same season.

Ironically, the Gunners met Sheffield Wednesday in both finals, and defeated their Yorkshire rivals by the same score in both finals, albeit with the aid of a replay in this one.

Before the kick-off, another piece of FA Cup history was created, as Steve Morrow became the first player ever to be presented with a winner’s medal before a ball had been kicked, receiving his League Cup winner’s medal some four weeks after scoring the winning goal in the final.

When the match did get on the way, the contest remained a tight affair. Ian Wright headed Arsenal into a first half lead, but Wednesday’s resilience paid dividends as David Hurst equalised mid-way through the second half, and 1-1 it remained with both teams returning to Wembley for the 4th time in the season to commence battle once again.

With the replay following a similar pattern to the first, Wright once again notched Arsenal ahead in the first half, and Chris Waddle levelled for Wednesday with the aid of a deflection in the second, and with extra time needed, it seemed that the FA Cup Final would be decided by penalties for the very first time.

But with seconds remaining, Andy Linighan became the hero of the hour, rising to meet Merson’s corner and powering a header past a helpless Woods in the Wednesday net. The Cup was on its way back to Highbury for the first time in 14 years and the double was complete. So now relive this historic day, as we bring you the full uninterrupted replay with highlights from the first match in this specially produced DVD to commemorate another landmark day in Arsenal’s history.

Arsenal Vs Manchester Utd FA Cup Final 2005 DVD.

Arsenal won their 10th FA Cup Final and their 4th in the space of 8 years as Arsene Wenger's side finished the season on a high at the Millennium Stadium by beating their arch rivals Manchester United. For the first time in FA Cup history, the Final was decided by a penalty shoot-out. Jens Lehmann gave Arsenal the edge with a wonderful save from Paul Scholes and captain Patrick Vieira fired home the winning spot-kick.

It was a glorious climax for the Gunners and a wonderful defensive display of determination and class as Manchester United couldn't break down the Arsenal rearguard. Wayne Rooney went close on three occasions before the break and hit the post in the second half, Freddie Ljungberg nodded Ruud van Nistelrooy's header onto the underside of the bar and out, and Roy Keane was one of a posse of United players to squander chances. Arsenal's best chance came in extra time through a Robin Van Persie free kick which Roy Carroll did well to save and then in the dying seconds of the game Jose Antonio Reyes was sent off.

So after the two teams couldn't be separated over 120 minutes The FA Cup Final was to be decided by penalties. Van Nistelrooy scored. Lauren matched him. Then Lehmann sprang to his right to push away Scholes' effort. Ljungberg put Arsenal in front, then Ronaldo, Van Persie, Rooney, Cole and Keane scored with ease. It was left to Vieira… and the captain kept his nerve to find the top corner and make sure this day belonged to the Gunners.

Arsenal v Newcastle Utd1998 FA Cup Final

History is re-written once again, as the Gunners become only the second team in English football history to win a second double in Arsene Wenger’s first full season in charge at Highbury.

Arsenal had twice lost FA Cup Finals to Newcastle, either side of the war in 1932 and 1952, but faced them on this occasion as overwhelming favourites to add the Cup to their recently claimed Premiership crown.

It had been a season of two halves for the Gunners, with any hope of any silverware looking remarkably slim at the turn of the year. Lying in sixth, the table wasn’t making happy reading and a third round goalless draw at home to Port Vale only served to deepen the gloom. But a remarkable turnaround in form saw a 12 point deficit overcome and a Cup Final place was eventually booked after defeating Wolves at Villa Park.

The match started brightly, and the breakthrough came after only 23 minutes, when Petit, who would end the summer as a World Cup Winner, provided the pass for Overmars to shoot past Given, and there was only going to be one winner.

Newcastle hit the woodwork twice in the second half, but Arsenal wrapped it up in the 70th minute, when Anelka latched onto Parlour’s long ball to fire past Given to seal a remarkable season for the Gunners. So now relive this day all over again when double was completed for an incredible second time.

Ipswich Town v Arsenal – 1978 FA Cup Final

The 1970’s finals were rapidly becoming the decade of shocks, and the 1978 final, somewhat unfairly went down as another major turn-up, as Ipswich Town put a disappointing league campaign behind them, shrugged off the underdog tag and took the match to Arsenal.

Despite a season of struggle, Ipswich boss Bobby Robson boasted a side which had finished the previous year in third place in the league, and on their day, were more than a match for any side, and so it proved in their first ever Cup final appearance.

Three times Ipswich hit the woodwork, with John Wark and Paul Mariner displaying their international class; Kevin Beattie and George Burley both had headers superbly saved by Pat Jennings, and the back-line kept Arsenal’s attacking prowess at bay.

The breakthrough eventually came with only thirteen minutes remaining, when David Geddis’ cross fell into the path of Roger Osborne, who drilled home a first-time shot.

Roger Osborne’s over-enthusiastic celebration caused him to faint, but few minded as the F.A. Cup headed to Suffolk for the very first time.
