Chelsea v Arsenal - As it happened
What a cup final. Frantic from start to finish, and underdogs Arsenal come out on top. Sanchez scored early despite claims for handball, and Chelsea equalised through Costa with 15 minutes to go. A minute later, Ramsey headed home for Arsenal to lift the FA Cup trophy.
Arsenal are FA Cup champions!
The end
Alexis makes way for Elneny
4 added minutes
Crazy final minutes
End-to-end stuff with Chelsea coming so close to equalising again and Arsenal so close to killing it a minute later.
Costa is replaced by Batshuayi
The striker will not be happy with his latest miss.
Off the post!
What an end to this fantastic game. Up the other end now Ozil cuts inside and tries to finish past Courtois but hits the post.
What a chance Costa!
The striker should have levelled as he chested the ball down again in the box and only had Ospina to beat. His strike is straight at Ospina who clears for a corner.
Arsenal close!
Bellerin did brilliantly skipping past Luiz, and he drove his finish across goal but it was just wide.
Yellow card Coquelin
The midfielder goes straight in the book.
Coquelin on for Oxlade-Chamberlain
Chelsea close!
The cross comes in from the right and Luiz heads wide at the near post.
Yellow card Xhaka
For pulling back Willian.
Arsenal reclaim the lead!
Straight away Arsenal take the lead again. A good move culminates with Giroud's cross for Ramsey to head past Courtois. Instant impact from Giroud and Ramsey gets another crucial goal in the final.
GOAL!
Giroud on for Welbeck
Chelsea equalise!
Against the odds, the Blues level. Willian crossed from the right and Costa brought down to volley towards goal. The ball took a slight deflection to beat Ospina at the near post.
GOAL!
Willian on for Pedro
Chelsea down to ten men!
Arsenal fans wave goodbye to Moses as things look up for them. It was a clear dive looking to deceive the official.
Red card!
Moses went down in the box and gets a second yellow for simulation.
Fantastic save Courtois!
Welbeck played the ball to the edge of the box and Bellerin arrived from behind to side-foot towards goal. The keeper did well to save down low.
Fabregas replaces Matic
Yellow card Kante
For a late challenge on Ramsey.
Pedro inches wide!
Moses cut inside and played the ball for Pedro at the edge of the box. The winger took a curling shot which whistled just wide of the post, with Ospina beaten.
Yellow card Moses
For pulling down Welbeck.
Yellow card Holding
For bringing down Costa.
What a save Ospina!
The best chance of the game for the Blues as Costa opens the play for Moses. The wing-back fires at goal and Ospina gets down well to parry the ball away.
Chance Chelsea!
Mertesacker has been excellent today as he slides to deny Costa getting on the end of a low cross from Hazard.
Ospina saves!
Better start from Chelsea as Knate shoots from distance, but the keeper got hold of the ball.
Pedro strike blocked!
The Spaniard cut onto his right foot and went for goal, but Holding stuck his foot out to clear.
Arsenal get the ball rolling!
We're back!
If the second forty-five minutes are anything like the first we're in for a treat.
Half time
That is as good as we have seen from Arsenal all season, and they have the Premier League champions up against the ropes. Alexis scored a controversial opener in the 4th minute of a frenetic first-half which could be one of the best in recent memory.
Alonso free kick over!
The Spaniard looked to curl it into the top corner. Nothing going Chelsea's way.
2 added minutes
Pedro over the bar!
Chelsea's efforts still few and far apart. Pedro turns inside the box, and blazes his effort over.
Courtois saves!
Xhaka volleyed low towards goal, and the bouncing ball was sent behind for a corner.
Another chance Arsenal!
The Gunners break and the ball is opened to Welbeck on the left. The striker's finish sneaks past Courtois and is once again Cahill who gets down to clear.
Chance Chelsea!
Chelsea fighting back, and a long ball finds Costa in the box but the striker's finish smashes Ospina in the face. The keeper is down.
Off the post!
How did that not go in? Welbeck headed a corner towards goal, and it bounces off the back post, takes Ramsey by surprise and hits the post again.
Cleared off the line!
What a start to the game. Arsenal break and Alexis feeds the ball into the box for Ozil to shoot over Courtois. The ball is heading in but Cahill clears with a back-heel.
Chance Chelsea!
Costa latches onto a loose ball in the box, but his strike is blocked.
Alexis over!
The Chilean goes for a long shot, but it is a yard or two off target.
Great start from Arsenal
The Gunners knocking the ball around again. The Blues have not settled into the game.
Monreal yellow card
The Spaniard stopped Pedro in his tracks and gets booked for his efforts.
Arsenal in front
Chelsea will be furious with the goal. Sanchez scooped the ball behind the defence, and Ramsey interfered in the play in an offside position. The ball also seemed to come off of Sanchez's arm.
Costa up to no good
The striker goes down with Holding and gets the defender into a headlock with his legs.
Arsenal open the scoring!
Moments of confusion as Alexis' goal looks to be disallowed after Ramsey takes part in the play in an offside position. Sanchez finally gets on the end to power the ball past Courtois.
GOAL!
Arsenal win a corner
Chelsea unable to get hold of the ball and Sanchez wins a corner kick which is straight into hands of Courtois.
First long spell of possession Arsenal
The Gunners get hold of the ball after a scrappy start.
Diego Costa gets the ball rolling!
The final is underway.
Chelsea to kick off
What a moment
'We stand together' could be read on the screen as the entire stadium pays their respects.
A minute's silence is held
Both teams get together at the centre-circle and the stadium goes silent in memory of the Manchester victims.
Kick-off seconds away!
The teams shake hands and everything is set for the final.
Time for 'God save the Queen'
The entire stadium chants the national anthem. Pleasantries almost done.
Prince William is here
The Prince greets all 22 players and both managers, with captains Mertesacker and Cahill making the introductions.
And they're out!
A huge canvas is laid out on the pitch and fireworks go off as the crowd erupts when the players walk out.
Both teams in the tunnel!
Cahill and Mertesacker will captain their teams, which will be lead out by Conte and Wenger.
What an occasion this is!
The crowd breaks out into song along with the band singing the words to 'Abide with me'.
The Cup is carried out!
The stadium is packed, with nobody wanting to miss a moment. The FA Cup trophy is carried out with the choir singing.
Atmosphere building up at Wembley!

30 minutes till kick-off!
How will Arsenal's defence cope against Chelsea's electric attackers. Inexperienced Rob Holding is joined by Mertesacker (40 minutes played this season), and left-back Monreal playing in the back three. Pedro, Diego Costa are quite the attacking trio.
Didier Drogba memories!
The former Chelsea man was a true expert in scoring in FA Cup finals.

Two different angles to approach the final
Chelsea and Arsenal reach the final after contradictory seasons. Conte is revelling in Premier League glory while this ficture is basically make or break for Wenger's season.
Chelsea aiming for the double...
Only 11 teams have managed the league and cup double before.
Preston in 1888/89, Aston Villa in 1896/97, Tottenham in 1960/61, Arsenal in 1970/71, Liverpool in 1985/86, Man Utd in 1993/94, Man Utd in 1995/96, Arsenal in 1997/98, Man Utd in 1998/99, Arsenal in 2001/02 and Chelsea in 2009/10.
The Blues also furnished with scarfs...
