Underdogs Hull, playing in the first Cup final of their 110-year history, stunned their Premier League rivals by going 2-0 up inside nine minutes thanks to goals from James Chester and Alex Davies.&nbsp;Santi Cazorla&rsquo;s 17th-minute free-kick brough Arsenal back into the match before Laurent Koscielny equalised 19 minutes from time. The first period of extra-time failed to produce a goal but Wales midfielder Ramsey&rsquo;s precise 109th-minute finish secured Arsenal&rsquo;s first major trophy in the nine years since they last won the FA Cup.

Earlier, the 2014 FA Cup final headed into extra-time after Premier League rivals Arsenal and Hull City finished all square at 2-2 after 90 minutes.&nbsp;James Chester gave the Tigers the lead in the fourth minute when he diverted Tom Huddlestone&rsquo;s mis-hit shot past wrong-footed Gunners goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.
Hull then doubled their lead when, after Fabianski had tipped a header from Alex Bruce &mdash; the son of Tigers manager Steve Bruce &mdash; Curtis Davies smashed the ball in from a tight angle.&nbsp;But a stunned Arsenal &mdash; bidding to end a nine-year major trophy drought &mdash; got a goal back in the 17th minute through Santi Cazorla&rsquo;s brilliant long range free-kick.
Arsene Wenger&rsquo;s men were back on level terms 19 minutes from the end of normal time when Laurent Koscielny turned the ball in from close range after Bacary Sagna&rsquo;s header deflected off Olivier Giroud and fell at his feet.
