Your support makes all the difference.A GOAL from Andy Linighan in the final seconds of extra time won the FA Cup for Arsenal at Wembley last night, as they beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1. With the prospect of penalties looming, the central defender came up for a corner and headed the ball past Chris Woods in the Wednesday goal.
Ian Wright had put Arsenal ahead after 34 minutes of a bruising first half in which Wednesday's Mark Bright was booked. Chris Waddle equalised in the 63rd minute, his drive cannoning into the net off the Arsenal right-back Lee Dixon. It was the fourth time this season that Wednesday fans had gathered at Wembley. The kick-off was delayed by half an hour because of accidents on the M1, which blocked the southbound carriageway for several hours.
