EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic moment captured at The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales on May 4, 2002, Arsenal legend Ray Parlour outmaneuvers Chelsea defender Marcel Desailly to score the opening goal in the FA Cup Final. The image, taken by renowned sports photographer Stuart MacFarlane, encapsulates the intensity and excitement of the high-stakes match between two football giants. The previous season had seen Arsenal and Chelsea locked in a fierce battle for the Premier League title, with Arsenal ultimately emerging as champions. The FA Cup Final presented another opportunity for both teams to claim victory and add to their trophy cabinets. Parlour, known for his tenacious midfield play and ability to read the game, seizes the moment as Desailly momentarily loses focus. With quick footwork and a deft touch, Parlour weaves past the Chelsea defender and slots the ball past the onrushing Chelsea goalkeeper, sending the Arsenal fans into raptures. The goal served as a crucial moment in the match, giving Arsenal the confidence boost they needed to secure a 2-0 victory and claim the FA Cup trophy. This image stands as a testament to Parlour's skill and determination, as well as Arsenal's dominance during this period. The FA Cup Final of 2002 marked the end of a successful season for Arsenal, and the beginning of another chapter in their storied history.
