EXCLUSIVEMICHAEL OWEN ran rings around Argentina, hit a hat-trick against Germany and is the last English winner of the Ballon d'Or. But, he tells DANNY MURPHY, his FA Cup win was the most magical day of his life

When Michael Owen is asked to pick the favourite moment of his career, people expect him to mention his World Cup wonder-goal against Argentina, his hat-trick for England in Germany or even winning the Ballon d'Or - he is the last Englishman to do so.

The actual answer always surprises them. It is the FA Cup final of 2001, when he single-handedly won the trophy for Liverpool with two dramatic late goals against Arsenal.

The first was an instinctive half-volley in the box before Patrick Vieira and Martin Keown could react, the winner a blistering run past Lee Dixon and Tony Adams before pinging a strong finish across David Seaman.
