Theo Walcott ended a frustrating season by scoring the first goal as Arsenal won a record 12th FA Cup title Saturday with a dominant 4-0 victory over Aston Villa in the final at Wembley Stadium. Walcott, who missed most of 2014 with a knee injury sustained in an FA Cup game, volleyed home a shot in the 40th minute to put defending champion Arsenal ahead. </br> ''It was amazing,'' Walcott said. ''Any win is fantastic. The manner we did it today was great, we played great football and kept a clean sheet. We always knew if we kept a clean sheet we were going to score goals and win the game.'' (Reuters) ''It's something I'm very proud of,'' Wenger said. ''If no one has done it (in modern times) it means it's very difficult.'' </br> (In picture: Arsenal's head coach Arsene Wenger holds the trophy with Nacho Monreal after the English FA Cup final soccer match between Aston Villa and Arsenal at Wembley stadium in London, Saturday, May 30, 2015.
