Ramsey: We want to win FA Cup for Wenger
Aaron Ramsey says Arsenal want to win the FA Cup for boss Arsene Wenger and admitted the players let him down at times throughout the season.
The Gunners booked their 20th FA Cup final thanks to goals from Nacho Monreal and Alexis Sanchez who cancelled out Sergio Aguero's opener just after the hour mark.
Wenger has won the competition six times and Ramsey says the players want to capture another title after a poor season.
"It was important to win today, to have something to look forward to. But now we have another seven cup finals to try and get into the top four," Ramsey told the BBC.
"We have let him [Arsene Wenger] down at times this season, we want to win it for him and ourselves."
The Welsh midfielder also praised his side's character, something which may have been missing throughout the season.
"I love this competition. We have been quite successful in recent years and you can see the passion that the players play with." Ramsey continued.
"We went behind and kept on going and got a result.
"I made the mistake for the goal. I know in these situations you have to respond. I carried on trying to work my socks off and ultimately it paid off.
"That is the second time we played this formation credit, to the boys. We have shown the character we have in this team."
