It will go down as one of the strangest FA Cup finals on record.

Arsenal's 2-1 win over Chelsea in 2020 was played at a near-deserted Wembley while the Gunners received the trophy on the pitch, instead of climbing the famous steps to the Royal Box for the presentation as is tradition.

Despite fans being prevented from attending the domestic showpiece becaue of Covid, it was a day Matt Smith will never forget.

Aged 19 and without a competitive first-team appearance to his name, the boyhood Arsenal fan was named on the Gunners substitutes bench after Mesut Ozil was left out by Mikel Arteta.
