Goals from Theo Walcott, Alexis Sanchez, Per Mertesacker and substitute Olivier Giroud made sure of Arsenal's second consecutive FA Cup at a packed Wembley Stadium.
Sherwood's side were taught a lesson by Arsene Wenger's dominant attacking side and as it became increasingly evident that Villa's chances of getting back into the game were low.
But more than the usual sympathy towards the losing fans, one individual in particular has now received plenty more after a remarkable bet was reported.
According to journalist David Blackmore, one Villa supporter on the London Underground told him he was told by a psychic to bet his life savings and house on the Villains coming out as winners in the showpiece final.
"Just met an Aston Villa fan on the Tube. He was told by a psychic to put his home and life savings on his team winning," Blackmore said.
"He has. Unbelievable."
Blackmore's message quickly went viral with fans reacting in astonishment at the report.
Here are the best reactions from Twitter:
While not quite as bad a decision, another Villa fan made a questionable call which he will also be left regretting - only involving his skin rather than life savings.
