Arsenal 3-2 Hull City: Arsene Wenger Hails Greatest FA Cup Win
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has labelled the club's FA Cup win which was secued with victory over Hull City as his finest achievement in the world's oldest cup competition.
The Gunners staged a remarkable turnaround after going two goals behind, with Santi Cazorla, Laurent Koscielny and Aaron Ramsey grabbing the goals in an extra time win.
Victory ends Arsenal's nine-year wait for a major trophy and gives Wenger his fifth FA Cup win - as he becomes the joint-most successful manager in the competition's history.
"It is relief and happiness because of course we were under severe pressure to win today and we didn't start well," he said.
"The happiness is inked with the suffering and the time you have to wait for it was a great moment at the end of the game
"It was more important today than all the others because, I've won the double twice but not under pressure we were not today. I won it now five times so that's not to bad."
Wenger is now set to end speculation regarding his future by penning a new deal at Arsenal and the French boss admits in "normal" circumstances he will remain in north London.
"That [signing a new deal] normally should happen yes," he added. "We are in very normal circumstances now. It was never a question of leaving it was a question of doing the right job for this club."
After leading the Premier League table for much of the campaign before finishing fourth and qualifying for the Champions League for a 17<sup>th consecutive year, Arsenal are now expected to contest for silverware on a more regular basis.
Asked whether a busy summer transfer window period can continue Arsenal's improvement, Wenger replied: "You have to accept that in the Premier League it is very tough.
"In the top four this year you don't have Man United, Everton or Tottenham and these clubs have invested a huge amount of money an the clubs who have won the Premier League have invested a huge amount of money so it's difficult to compete but we will try."
