It's very interesting now, because it's all a test of character and mental strength now.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, who scored from a penalty spot in last season's final.
And does so again, Joy, at this moment.
Well, it's a super fail to consider. It's such a short run-up.
Sometimes when he takes such a short run-up, he'll give the goalkeeper a chance, but no chance for that.
Against Roy Carroll.
Laurent, the international from Cameroon.
Paul Scholes is next for Manchester United.
Really well taken by Laurent.
As calm as you like. Even if the goalkeeper had gone the right way, there was no chance he was going to save that.
Many think it's not a satisfactory way to end such a big occasion, such an important event as this.
But it has to be.
And it still has to be for Paul Scholes.
Well, that was a fantastic save, because Scholes hit that with bags of power.
Maybe he would have liked it to get a little bit further in the corner.
But it's still a tremendous block.
Yet again, such strong hands behind it from Jens Lehmann.
Agony and dejection for Paul Scholes, being consoled by his teammates.
Steps up now then for Arsenal.
Again, this is a Man United in charge for all of the game, all of it.
And yet, when it comes to penalties, they're now behind.
Cristiano Ronaldo will be next for United.
Closure here. 2-2.
Well, he tried to get Lehmann to move early.
Watch him run up, have a little stutter, tries to get Lehmann to commit.
He doesn't commit until he comes up to strike the ball and then chooses to go the wrong way.
Robin van Persie.
In the firing line now.
The young Dutchman.
From the semi against Blackburn.
It's there.
3-2 Arsenal.
You have to say, Arsenal's three penalties have been absolutely fantastic.
They've not given Roy Carroll a chance whatsoever.
All in the corners, all hit with great pace.
And it's given Arsenal this chance.
Wayne Rooney.
I'm sure he'd give his Man of the Match award back if he thought he was going to score with this.
Let's see.
The young England international.
No mistake.
Steve Cole.
Chelsea.
And his part in all that.
He's put it all behind him today.
In terms of his performance during the 120 minutes of the match.
Now one last contribution from him.
4-3 Arsenal.
Down to the last two.
All eyes now on Roy Keane.
If he misses this, Arsenal win the FA Cup.
A performance from the skipper today.
Comes to football.
Has to point through.
4-4.
Scots now.
David Seaman in 2003.
Tony from 2002 at 98.
It's amazing, isn't it?
We said it extra time there.
United need to take one of these chances.
Otherwise we could come back to haunt them.
And it has done.
I mean, that's incredible.
United supporters obviously can't believe what's happened.
Yet the United players can't believe what's happened.
And I think all the Arsenal lads are like Ferguson there.
He is absolutely...
Well, he's in a world of his own there.
You can't believe what's happened.
I think even the Arsenal fans can't believe they've won this.
But they have.
And that's the future of the FA Cup.
And this is the moment he's been waiting for.
The FA Cup winners of 2005.
