Substitutes
Olivier Giroud – 6.5/10
Although Arsenal were already leading prior to his introduction, they looked a better team with the Frenchman leading the line rather than Walcott.
Mikel Arteta – 6/10
The club captain came on for the last 10 minutes and got to lead his team up the Wembley steps to collect the trophy come the final whistle.
Kieran Gibbs – 6/10
Brought on to solidify Arsenal’s left side, Gibbs nearly scored a second just before stoppage time when his relentless pressing set up a chance which he hit straight at Thibaut Courtois.
