Arsenal advanced into the fifth round of the FA Cup with a comfortable 2-1 win over fellow Premier League side Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
The Gunners made a great start to the game and were 2-0 up by the half-hour mark, with their goals coming from Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah.
Bournemouth did pull a goal back late on through Sam Surridge, but it turned out to be just a mere consolation.
Mikel Arteta’s men took the lead in the sixth minute when Gabriel Martinelli played in Saka, who smashed his effort into the back of the net, via the underside of the crossbar.
Arsenal doubled their lead in the 26th minute, with the aforementioned scorer turning provider for Nketiah, who scored his first goal since returing from his loan spell at Leeds United.
Arsenal had a few chances to kill the tie off completely, but Bournemouth hung on and eventually pulled a goal back in second half stoppage-time when Surridge drove his effort into the net, but they didn’t leave themselves enough time to grab a late equaliser.
