Michael Owen scored twice in the last seven minutes to give Liverpool a dramatic 2-1 victory over Arsenal in the FACup final today.

Owen struck after 83 and 88 minutes to cancel out Fredrik Ljungberg's 72 minute effort for Arsenal, who had created the better chances in thefirst FA Cup final to be played outside England.

Thierry Henry twice missed simple chances when clean through for Arsene Wenger's side, who finish the season trophyless.

Liverpool's sixth FA Cup triumph kept them on course for a unique treble - they have already won the League Cup and face Alaves of Spain in theUEFA Cup final on Wednesday.
