The 2016-17 campaign was a season of dramatic contrast for Arsenal, as The Gunners finished 5th in the Premier League, missing out on Champions League qualification for the first time in two decades. However, the club achieved glorious redemption by clinching a record 13th FA Cup, defeating Premier League champions Chelsea 2-1 in the Final, a win that secured an unprecedented seventh FA Cup for manager Arsène Wenger. Leading the charge was the exceptional Alexis Sánchez, whose 24 league goals anchored an attack also featuring the creative genius of Mesut Özil and the final-day hero Aaron Ramsey.
