Aaron Ramsey hopes Arsenal can win the FA Cup for manager Arsene Wenger after coming from behind to reach the final at Manchester City's expense.

The Gunners will play Chelsea in next month's Wembley showpiece after Alexis Sanchez scrambled an extra-time winner in a controversial clash on Sunday.

The 2-1 victory came against the odds and after a turbulent spell in which Wenger has come under pressure from an increasing number of supporters as his future remains uncertain. Midfielder Ramsey feels a moral obligation to go on and lift the trophy for the long-serving Frenchman.

The Wales international said: "It was important for us to get to the final for him, for ourselves and for the fans, and have a bit of positivity around the club.

"He was over the moon for us but we are delighted as well that we have got to a final for him. I think he deserves that and hopefully now we can kick on and win it for him.

"We have seven cup finals now to try to finish off the job and get that Champions League place, then hopefully we'll have something to celebrate at the end of the year."

While Wenger can finish the season with silverware, City boss Pep Guardiola is now destined to end a campaign empty-handed for the first time in his managerial career.
