Pierre-Emerick Aubemeyang’s penalty canceled out Christian Pulisic’s early goal at the halfway point in the FA Cup final.

Mason Mount moved onto the left-hand side, picked up the ball from Christian Pulisic, drove into the box and crossed low to Olivier Giroud.

The ex-Arsenal frontman flicked it on to the Blues’ American hero Pulisic, who rolled it confidently over Emi Martinez to record the first goal in the 5th minute of the match.

Nicolas Pepe fired an absolutely superb strike into the top left corner from 25 yards – and the fake crowd went wild!

But the linesman had his flag up for a clear offside.

Arsenal began the half disappointingly but dominated the game until the referee blew his whistle for the end of first half.

Chelsea really needed the break, having lost the plot a little after conceding the equaliser.

Former Indomitable Lions captain Stephen Tataw Eta has died at the age of 57 after a “protracted illness”.

The right-back captained the Cameroon national team at the 1990 and 1994 editions of the FIFA World Cup.

He played every minute as the Indomitable Lions got to the last eight at Italia ’90 – the first African team to do so.

They were beaten 3-2 in extra-time by Sir Bobby Robson’s England.

Tataw is said to have died on Friday after a lengthy illness.

Cameroon, led by the dancing veteran striker Roger Milla, famously beat reigning World Cup champions Argentina in their first game in Italia 90.

Their incredible runs also included wins over top sides Romania and Colombia.

They looked set to knock the Three Lions out and reach the semi-final.

But Gary Lineker’s late penalty forced extra-time before he got England through in the additional period.

Tataw, who had a trial at QPR after the 1990 World Cup, also played in the USA World Cup four years later.

But they were thrashed 6-1 by Russia, also losing 3-0 to eventual winners Brazil, and went out at the group stage.

Tataw played for Cameroonian sides Tonnerre Yaounde and Olympic Mvolye before ending his career in Japan with Tosu Futures.

Reports have emerged in England over how Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang tried to force through a January move to Chelsea – but it fell through over his huge wage demands.

The Gabon striker, who has a year left of his £200,000-a-week Gunners deal, wanted out quickly, claim the Mail.

Agents for Aubameyang contacted Frank Lampard’s Blues.

At the time, Lamps had frozen out Olivier Giroud and a striker was said to be a top priority.

He was linked with Timo Werner, who he eventually signed for £48million from RB Leipzig.

Aubameyang, 31, has hit 27 goals this term.

He was said to be keen on the move which would have left Gunners fans fuming.

The departure of left-back Ashley Cole to their hated London rivals in 2006 is still raw.

But Aubameyang is said to have asked for a salary which would have made him the highest paid player in the club’s history, it has been claimed.

The Blues are, according to The Sun, still keen on Aubameyang but he would have to drop his incredible wage demands.
