Arsenal have added the image celebrating their recent FA Cup win to their banner inside the Emirates Stadiuim.

The banner commemorates every trophy that Arsenal have won in their history, and includes the year and an image of each cup.

To win in the FA Cup final, Arsenal swept aside a lacklustre Aston Villa to clinch a record-breaking twelfth FA Cup victory with a 4-0 victory at Wembley.

Theo Walcott, preferred to Olivier Giroud in a central striking role, broke the deadlock with a well taken left-footed volley after 40 minutes, beating Given at the Villa goalkeeper's near post.

Alexis Sanchez doubled the Gunners' lead with a superb 25-yard strike just after the break, leaving Given helpless with a swerving right-footed strike that deflected off the underside of the crossbar.

Per Mertesacker put the game beyond doubt with a free header just after the hour mark, before Olivier Giroud came off the bench to add gloss to the victory with a simple fourth, touching home after good work from fellow substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
