There was only two changes coming at the beginning of the second half with both being in defence, with Denilson and Traore replacing Gallas and Clichy.
Unlike the start, the second half lacked the speed and effectiveness that was displayed at the opening of the game as Arsenal were contained to half chances. This stayed the same until Arsene Wenger made more changes to try and reinvigorate the Arsenal team. Goalscorer Eduardo was replaced by youth prospect Sanchez Watt and Nicklas Bendtner made his first appearence in the game at the expense of the briliant Andrei Arshavin. The substitutes seemd to be working well and the attcking pressure paid off when Aaron Ramsey dinked a beautiful pass to Jack Wilshere who cooly blasted the ball in the top corner for his second of the game.
Immediately after the goal Wenger made further chances by introducing Tomas Rosicky for captain Cesc Fabregas on the 73rd minute. Wilshere had a chance to make get his Hat trick but was rewarded with the Man of the Match award two days in a row helping the gooners lift the emirates cup for the 2nd time in 3 years.
