Arsenal denies Chelsea FA Cup

Arsene Wenger’s turbulent year ended with a third FA Cup in four seasons after Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-1 at London to deny the English Premier League champion a double.

Wenger became the competition’s most successful manager with a seventh title in his 21-year tenure — triumphs that have papered over some of the cracks as Arsenal repeatedly has come up short in the Premier League and Champions League.

The victory might just be enough to stem the tide of protests against Wenger, with the record 13-time FA Cup winners yet to announce a new contract for the 67-year-old Frenchman for next season.
