The Gabonese … Put your email in the box at the top of this article or you can follow instructions Neither team landed a decisive blow in extra time but West Ham scored only one of their four penalties, so successful spot-kicks from Dietmar Hamann, Gerrard and John Arne Riise gave Liverpool the trophy.Arsenal again lost out to Manchester United in the 2000/01 Premier League title race, and Arsene Wenger was determined to avoid ending the season empty-handed.Liverpool, for their part, were eyeing an unlikely treble, having already lifted the League Cup and with the UEFA Cup final to come a few days later.Arsenal were the better team for the majority of the contest, which was the first FA Cup final to be held at the Millennium Stadium in Wales.With Thierry Henry in an uncharastically profligate mood, Freddie Ljungberg broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute, rounding Sander Westerveld and slotting the ball into an empty net.Michael Owen’s pace was causing the Gunners problems, though, and a last-gasp intervention from Martin Keown denied the England international a one-on-one with David Seaman.But Owen wasn’t to be denied, and it was he who reacted quickest to fire a loose ball home after Arsenal failed to clear a free-kick.Then, in the 88th minute, Owen wrote his name into the history books, outpacing Lee Dixon and angling a terrific finish inside the far post to give Liverpool victory and leave Arsenal shell-shocked.Arsenal had gone nine long years without a trophy by the time of the 2014 FA Cup final.
