Players and milestones at Wembley
Leandro Trossard is the only current Arsenal player to have scored at Wembley for the club. Several recent opponents and internationals have also found the net at the stadium.
Eberechi Eze scored the winning goal in last season’s FA Cup final at Wembley for Crystal Palace. He also scored in his last two England appearances at that venue.
Bukayo Saka scored on his last two England outings at Wembley. Declan Rice, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Kai Havertz have also scored international goals there.
Players who scored at Wembley for Arsenal and country
- Alex James
- Tony Adams
- Alan Smith
- Paul Merson
- Ian Wright
- Dennis Bergkamp
- Nicolas Anelka
- Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
- Alexis Sanchez
- Per Mertesacker
- Theo Walcott
Gabriel Jesus and Eze could add a rare double by scoring in both a League Cup final and an FA Cup final for different clubs. Only Andy Gray, Michael Owen and Louis Saha have achieved that feat.
Jesus featured for Manchester City in the 2018 League Cup final. He has four career goals at Wembley, all scored for City between April 2018 and May 2019.
If Jesus plays in red and white, he would be the first player to appear for both sides in a League Cup final. That would mark another unique Wembley milestone.
