Bet Central’s Moments of the Weekend: 31 July-2 August
The team at Bet Central and watched a lot of sport this weekend so check out our list of things we loved from the sporting weekend.
Aubameyang finish
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang inspired Arsenal to a record 14th FA Cup win as the Gunners captain struck twice to beat Chelsea 2-1 in the final at an empty Wembley on Saturday.
Arsenal went 1-0 down but thanks to an ‘Auba’ penalty and then a delightful finish to wrap up the match. It was a finish worthy of silverware and further reinforced his importance to Arsenal.
Kurt Zouma is still wondering where Aubameyang went ?#FACupFinal pic.twitter.com/514ItMYGrW

Another Aotearoa special
Super Rugby Aotearoa is the gift that keeps of giving… every week there is a new try to fawn over and this weekend was no different thanks to the Blues. Finlay Christie finished off a wonderful team move involving a classic Beauden Barrett chip kick with Caleb Clark and Rieko Ioane showing off their handling skills to set up the scrumhalf Christie.
Try of the Round.
How could it not be this ripper from @BluesRugbyTeam?
