- Synopsis:
Has an FA Cup Final ever been won by two better goals? The 2002 FA Cup Final -Arsenal met Chelsea for the first time at this stage in the competition and it was two moments of brilliance from Ray Parlour and Freddie Ljungberg that separated the two and sealed the first part in a domestic double. With Tony Adams at the heart of the Arsenal defence, Chelsea enjoyed few sights of goal. When they did conjure an opening, David Seaman's athleticism denied the efforts of Gudjohnsen and Lampard. It was a closely fought encounter and there were chances at both ends, with Chelsea keeper Carlo Cudicini denying both Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry, only for Ray Parlour to strike a magnificent opener 20 minutes from time. Further forward than all his team-mates when he collected Wiltord's pass, Parlour opted for a right-foot shot and found the top corner from 25 yards. Ten minutes later it was all over as Freddie Ljungberg broke from the halfway line, leaving John Terry in his wake before curling a sumptuous effort beyond the despairing dive of Cudicini and there was no way back for Chelsea. Adams, playing in his last Cup Final, lifted the trophy with the man who would succeed him, Patrick Vieira. The FA Cup was Arsenal's. Four days later, the Premiership trophy was also heading to Highbury after a famous win at Old Trafford clinched the Club's third Double. - Actors:
