Before Wembley was the site of several memorable Arsenal FA Cup triumphs, the Gunners conquered the competition on a number of occasions at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium, including in their memorable 2001-02 double-winning campaign.
While Sylvain Wiltord‘s goal at Old Trafford may forever be remembered as the most momentous of that year for Arsene Wenger‘s side, two special strikes in the Welsh capital saw Arsenal take down London rivals Chelsea and hoist the famous trophy aloft again.
“It’s only Ray Parlour” claimed Tim Lovejoy on commentary before the Romford Pele unleashed a brilliant strike into the back of the net in the 70th minute, one that was matched by an equally exceptional effort from a red-haired Freddie Ljungberg just 10 moments later.
It has now been exactly 23 years since the Gunners overcame Claudio Ranieri‘s Chelsea 2-0 at the Millennium Stadium in the 2001-02 FA Cup final, and to mark the date, Sports Mole challenges you to name the Arsenal squad from that showdown.
