    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Theo Walcott, Arsenal striker:
    (On his performance in the FA Cup final)

    "I've worked really hard and the manager has shown his faith in me and I just wanted to repay him and the Arsenal fans in their support. I missed last year due to injury and personal problems, but it was nice to come back with a bounce in a winning team. This team is blessed and I've been here for a long time and this is truly the best squad I've worked with and I believe that we can go and challenge next year."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Aaron Ramsey, Arsenal midfielder:
    (On Theo Walcott's performance)

    "I'm delighted for him, missing out on last year's FA Cup, what he's been through and how strong he has been working ever so hard to get back to where he was. He deserved that today to score in an FA Cup final, it's not an easy thing."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Per Mertesacker, Arsenal defender:
    (On the performance compared to last year's FA Cup final win)

    "Obviously we had a much better start than last season. We conceded early two goals, but we felt comfortable with the game. We had a couple of chances between there and fortunately Theo (Walcott) scored the opener and that was good for us to lift us for the second half and then such a wonder goal from such an amazing striker like an Alexis (Sanchez) helped us a lot tonight. Set pieces are always going to be a threat so overall we deserved it, we just deserved it."
