Rob Holding 'lost for words' after FA Cup win over Chelsea

Holding 'lost for words' after FA Cup win

Arsenal defender Rob Holding has admitted that he was "lost for words" following the club's memorable FA Cup final win over 10-man Chelsea this weekend.

The Gunners ended a rather difficult season with an impressive victory at Wembley, as goals from Alexis Sanchez and Aaron Ramsey nullified a Diego Costa leveller to ensure that Arsenal claimed a record 13th FA Cup win.

"If Costa gets one in 90 minutes I've done my job. Chelsea are a strong team, you've seen that over the season, so we knew it'd be tough," said Holding, according to the Daily Mail.

"A guy like Per [Mertesacker], who has won the World Cup, is going to make it comfortable for me. He's a quality, quality player. We get on well and long may it continue. I'm lost for words really - I never thought I'd experience this."

Arsenal's victory ensured that the club claimed their seventh FA Cup crown under Arsene Wenger's stewardship.
