On this day: Owen wins the FA Cup
On this day in 2001, Liverpool won their sixth FA Cup in remarkable fashion in Cardiff against a formidable Arsenal side thanks to Michael Owen.
Why was it remarkable? Because for most of the afternoon it looked like there was little chance of the cup going anywhere but North London - before the Reds' young No. 10 intervened, that is.
On the day, Arsenal started brightly as Robert Pires and Patrick Vieira dominated possession up against Dietmar Hamann and Steven Gerrard in midfield, largely restricting Gerard Houllier's side to speculative balls to Emile Heskey and Michael Owen.
The Gunners were furious not to have been rewarded for their efforts in the 17th minute when Thierry Henry rounded Sander Westerveld and saw his goalbound effort deflected wide by the trailing arm of Stephane Henchoz.
It looked an almost certain penalty, but the score remained 0-0 at half-time.
Despite Houllier's team talk, the dispiriting pattern continued after the break, with only the efforts of Sami Hyypia and Westerveld keeping things goalless.
However, with just 20 minutes remaining, Freddie Ljungberg scored the goal that Arsenal had threatened all afternoon.
In the aftermath of that goal, Houllier brought on Gary McAllister and Robbie Fowler and things began to turn in Liverpool's favour.
It was at that point that Owen changed everything.
With seven minutes left, McAllister's free-kick was met by Markus Babbel's knockdown and the England striker was on hand to fire a brilliant half-volley into the bottom corner of David Seaman's goal.
For the first time on that Cardiff afternoon, Arsenal looked like a team who were unconvinced they'd be walking away with the trophy.
Their defence, including Tony Adams, Martin Keown and Lee Dixon, suddenly looked its age as Fowler and Owen threatened.
And, with the game seemingly heading to extra-time, Owen struck again.
It was a trademark goal. Patrik Berger's magnificent pass allowed the striker to outpace Dixon and Adams before tucking the ball into the corner of the goal, agonisingly out of Seaman's reach, to send the travelling Kop wild with delight.
Liverpool had won the FA Cup, the second part of a historic treble, and continued a love affair with Cardiff that had began that February with a League Cup win.
The injured Jamie Redknapp joined Hyypia and Fowler to lift the FA Cup for Liverpool, but it was Owen who had won them the game.
With other young stars like Gerrard and Jamie Carragher getting a first taste of FA Cup glory, the future at Anfield looked as bright as the famous trophy shining in the Welsh sun.
