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.
