According to FIFA 20 then do not expect any goals in regular time. In fact, the game goes to penalties with Chelsea winning the shootout 3-1. Aubameyang missing the penalty at the end of the first half pretty much cost Arsenal the FA Cup. Will that be how the game unfolds? Hopefully not as we’d like some more action in the 90 minutes. Are you on board with Chelsea winning the FA Cup in a penalty shootout?
