Santi Cazorla stops the bleeding for Arsenal

Arsenal appeared to be sinking without trace early in the FA Cup final. They conceded two goals to Hull City, could have conceded more, were losing every 50-50 challenge in midfield and couldn't get a shot off to save their lives. That was, until Santi Cazorla got a free kick opportunity in the 17th minute. It was Arsenal's first real chance to put Hull under pressure, and Cazorla made the most of it.

Allan McGregor didn’t do himself any favors with a step in the wrong direction, but he might not have gotten to it anyway. This was an absolutely brilliant free kick by Cazorla, and at the perfect time. He’s stopped the bleeding for his club, and now they’ll feel a little more confident about mounting a comeback.
