Arsenal will collect approximately $5.6 million in prize money for winning the FA Cup as well as around $1.1 million in television money, after cruising to victory against Aston Villa Saturday evening.

Arsenal broke records and the hearts of the 25,000 Aston Villa fans as they coasted to the biggest FA Cup final win in 21 years.

After escaping relegation, Tim Sherwood brought his Villa side to Wembley looking to win the FA Cup for the first time since 1957, but left in dejection following a 4-0 hammering.

Surprise starter Theo Walcott put Arsenal ahead at the end of a first half in which the Londoners dominated, Per Mertesacker scored the third and substitute Olivier Giroud rounded off the win at the death.

But the pick of the goals undoubtedly came from Alexis Sanchez, who hammered a 25-yard screamer in off the bar just after the restart.

Some of the Villa fans who had made the 115-mile trip to the capital left early while the Arsenal supporters rejoiced at retaining the FA Cup with ease.

The Gunners have now won the trophy a record 12 times and Wenger has been at the helm for half of them.

Wenger may have had his critics over the second part of his 19-year reign at Arsenal, but his cup pedigree cannot be questioned. Only George Ramsay, who managed Villa from 1884-1926, has won the same number of FA Cups as Wenger.
