Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin delighted by career turnaround

Francis Coquelin describes Arsenal's FA Cup final victory over Aston Villa as a "big day" in his career after spending the early part of the season on loan at Charlton.

Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin has described the team's FA Cup final victory over Aston Villa as a "big day" in his career.

The Gunners won the competition for a record 12th time on Saturday with a 4-0 triumph over the Villans at Wembley Stadium.

Having spent the earlier part of the season on loan at Charlton Athletic, Coquelin admits that he is surprised by how things have changed for him in recent months after working his way back into the Arsenal side.

"It's hard to believe," he told the club's official website. "Six months ago I was at Charlton and today I'm winning the FA Cup. Football can go so quick and I'm really pleased to get this trophy. It was a big day in my career.

"It's a great feeling. It's unbelievable, winning 4-0 as well with the way we played. I think the whole team has been tremendous and the last six months have been amazing for me. To end it off with a trophy is just great."

Coquelin has made 30 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal this season.
