5 Greatest Arsenal FA Cup Finals

1971 – Wembley - Liverpool
Five days after winning the title at White Hart Lane (for the first of two times) Arsenal faced Liverpool looking to secure their first domestic double. Liverpool took the lead early in extra time and Arsenal equalised through Kelly in the 100th minute. It was going to take something special from either team to take this final and it was Arsenal who supplied it.
Charlie George picked up the ball twenty five yards from goal and rocketed the ball into the goal before sinking down onto the turf with this arms spread in what is probably the most recognisable and iconic goal celebration in Arsenal history.
