He said: “It was a great feeling as an Arsenal fan seeing them lifting the FA Cup for the 14th time which is the highest by any England club since the inception of the trophy. I am happy London is red.”
Another Arsenal fan, Jamiu Afolabi, said it was an outstanding achievement to win the FA Cup this season after a turbulent campaign.
He added that it was also good to be back to Europe as winning the FA Cup guarantees Arsenal a place at the Europa League.
“It’s an awesome feeling seeing my team lifting the FA Cup for the 14th time and it’s also a great achievement on the part of the club for being part of history after witnessing a turbulent season as the team finished 8th on the league table,” Jamiu said.
Yusuf Showemimo said Arsenal really surprised him by winning the FA Cup despite the fact he was rooting for Chelsea as he urged Arsenal fans to enjoy the moment which he said they deserved.
