Bernd Leno's injury seemed to be a significant loss, but boy did Emiliano Martinez take his chance and how. He has been one of Arsenal's best players since football resumed and showed it again tonight.

Having made a decent save from Mount's shot early on, he grew in confidence as the game progressed and stood firm whenever Chelsea attacked. Was dominant inside his area and was good with his distribution as well.


#2 FLOP: Antonio Rudiger

Chelsea need a good centre-back if they are to challenge for any title

The defence has been a worry for Chelsea all season and Antonio Rudiger has been at fault many a time. He did not help his case in the final and was again a part of a sloppy backline for Chelsea.

He was sluggish throughout the game but the unnecessary failed tackle on Bellerin left a hole in the defence and eventually led to the second goal. Also known for his skills as a ball-playing defender, Rudiger had almost no impact in building from the back. A night to forget for the German.


#1 HIT: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Star of tonight's show: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Aubameyang is making a habit of being a serial matchwinner in recent seasons and has established himself as one of the most potent attackers in world football.

Having scored a brace in the semi-final against Manchester City, the Gabonese star once again notched up two important goals for his side. Aubameyang won and scored the penalty for the equalizer, as he brought Arsenal back into the game.

He then went on to score one of the best goals in the FA Cup final after he dinked one over Willy Caballero. He was the star of the final and has been the best player for Arsenal this season by some distance.
