Arsenal Beat Oxford United To Set Up FA Cup Clash With Manchester City
Manchester City will play Arsenal in the FA Cup after Arsenal defeated Oxford United.
Monday's FA Cup third-round match between Arsenal and Oxford United ended with a final score of 3-0 thanks to two goals from Eddie Nketiah in the second half.
After the break, Mikel Arteta's team defeated their League One opponents thanks to goals from Mohamed Elneny and Nketiah, setting up an exciting fourth-round matchup with Manchester City.
Elneny successfully deflected Fabio Vieira's whipped in free kick beyond Edward Mcginty to give Arsenal the lead after Oxford had vexed them earlier in the match.
With two elegant finishes on assistance from Vieira and Gabriel Martinelli, Nketiah scored his goals in the space of five minutes.
On the weekend of January 28, the Premier League's top team will visit the Etihad Stadium to play the team in second place who is pursuing them.
Arsenal has now triumphed in 14 straight FA Cup games against teams from English football's top two divisions. The last non-top-two league team to defeat Arsenal was Wrexham in January 1992.
According to Arteta, winning in these rounds is never easy. You had to wait patiently, and that's what we were doing.
"I'm thrilled for Eddie because he is scoring goals and improving how we play." "He needs to be putting goals in the net, and he is."
