Arsenal boss Wenger: Cazorla goal was turning point

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger felt Santi Cazorla's wonder goal was the difference in their FA Cup final win over Hull City.

With Arsenal 2-0 down, Cazorla hit a superb free-kick to get Arsenal back into the game.

Wenger said: "The mental aspect is very important in a game like that when everyone expects you to win. When you are 2-0 down of course you are under pressure - everyone thinks you have won the game before it started. But the cup final in England is special, you saw it last year and saw it again this year.

"It was an important moment in the life of this team, because to lose today would certainly have been a major setback. To win will be a good platform to build on to come back even stronger next year."
