Ramsey’s Cup message for Wenger
Print Edition
AARON Ramsey wants Arsenal to win the FA Cup for manager Arsene Wenger as the Gunners try to end a turbulent season with some silverware.
Arsenal will play London rival Chelsea in next month’s Wembley final after coming from behind to beat Manchester City 2-1 in a last-four clash at the national stadium on Sunday.
Victory, sealed by Alexis Sanchez’s extra-time winner, was a much-needed boost for all connected with Arsenal in a season that could yet end with the club missing out on a top four Premier League place, which brings with it the prize of Champions League qualification.
Nacho Monreal had earlier cancelled out Sergio Aguero’s second-half opener.
Arsenal midfielder Ramsey wants his side to lift the Cup for long-serving boss Wenger.
“It was important for us to get to the final for him, for ourselves and for the fans, and have a bit of positivity around the club,” Ramsey said. “He was over the moon for us but we are delighted as well that we have got to a final for him.
“I think he deserves that and hopefully now we can kick on and win it for him.
“We have seven ‘cup finals’ now to try to finish off the job and get that Champions League place, then hopefully we’ll have something to celebrate at the end of the year.”
Wenger hasn’t signed an extension to the contract that runs out at the end of the season.
