A comfortable two nil win against championship high flyers Middlesbrough saw Arsenal go through to the FA Cup quarter final. The game saw Gabriel make his Arsenal debut after his move from Villarreal but the Arsenal side was near full strength, featuring the likes of Sanchez, Cazorla and Ӧzil.
Arsenal came out in control playing a good possession based football but also moving it round comfortable and with ease. This Arsenal performance made a very good Middlesbrough side look ordinary. Cazorla captained the Arsenal side today and played in a much deeper role than what we are used to however, he showed his ability often dictating the play when receiving the ball from the Arsenal centre halves.

Player ratings
Wojciech Szczesny- 5- not an awful lot of goalmouth action for Woj to contend with on his return the starting line-up and despite not keeping a clean sheet poor defending resulted in the two Brighton goals rather than poor goalkeeping.
