Tottenham took the lead against the run of play, with their first (and only dangerous) attack of the game. Seaman had made a great block from a Ferdinand shot, but they got the ball back quickly and Iversen tried a shot from the corner of the box which was heading towards the corner flag when it hit defender Gary Doherty on the head and deflected past Seaman.

The key moment of the game came when Arsenal threatened to break decisively down the right. Wiltord played the ball down the line for Parlour, and Campbell's only way of stopping him was to run across Ray's path. The collision brought about a free-kick for Arsenal and a booking for Campbell, who was off the pitch having treatment as Pires took the free-kick. Vieira rose in the box to glance it inside the far post.

Shortly after, afetr hobbling round a bit, Campbell went off. Apparently he twisted his other ankle. Although Sol hadn't had his best game ever, his presence obviously made a difference to them, and from then on it was only Arsenal's poor finishing and some excellent keeping from Sullivan that kept the score anything but embarassing for Tottenham.

In the end it was once again the French connection which got us the winner, with 15 minutes to go. And once again it was an awesome run from Vieira which started it. He picked it up in the centre-circle and ran through a few challenges before feeding Wiltord wide on his left. Sylvain took it to the goal-line and, after everyone had been trying near-post shots to no effect, finally hit the perfect pass across the 6-yard box, cutting out Sullivan and giving Pires a tap-in.

Just back from the game, and no time for a full report now. But there'll be plenty more here tomorrow. See also match reports page for list of links to reports on other sites.

Liverpool won by the same scoreline at Villa Park. Wycombe held on gallantly for most of the match. But goals in quick succesion from Heskey and Fowler in the last 10 minutes sealed it, Wycombe's consolation goal at the death making injury time a little more interesting.

So, it's Arsenal vs Liverpool in the final in Cardiff on May 12th. And we always beat them in FA Cup finals, whatever the year ends in.
