Wenger admits "relief" after Arsenal end trophy drought

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admitted relief after ending their trophy drought yesterday.

Their FA Cup final victory ended a nine-year title wait for the Gunners.

Wenger said: "It is a relief and a happiness because of course we were under severe pressure to win today and we didn't start well. Hull started strong and you could see we were hesitant and then we responded well. We made a demonstration on how to respond to being 2-0 down, and a demonstration on how not to start an FA Cup final! In the end it finished well so it is a big, big moment of happiness and we waited a long time for that.

"The happiness is linked sometimes with the suffering and the time you have to wait, so that is maybe why it was a great moment at the end of the game."
