Arsenal goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is delighted after his side’s FA Cup semi-final win over Wigan Athletic at Wembley and dedicated their victory to the fans.
A 63rd minute penalty from Jordi Gomez gave the Gunners something to worry about before Per Mertasacker equalised in the 82nd minute. After a goalless extra time, Arsene Wenger’s men stormed into the final by winning the game 4-2 on penalties, after two fabulous saves by the Polish shot-stopper.

Arsenal look en-route to their first trophy since 2005 when they face Hull City in the final of the English cup on 17th May, and Fabianski was relieved that his side could win for their loyal supporters.
“You could sense it in the crowd after we conceded the goal, there was a really stressful few minutes as we tried to get back in the game”, the 28-year-old was quoted as saying by Arsenal’s site.

“After we managed to score the equaliser you could sense the relief, and from the penalties you could see the crowd react. I think this is for the fans, I think they have been waiting a long time and they show up in every away game, win or lose they always follow.
“It was a great atmosphere today as well so it’s great to do it for them", the player added.
Arsenal will be meeting Hull City in a league game on Sunday, following their midweek fixture against West Ham United on Tuesday, in a build up to the final showdown at Wembley, and will also be hoping to better their present fifth league position and make it to the top four.
