The Gunners book their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 3-2 victory over Brighton at the Amex stadium. In a weekend of massive cup upsets, Arsenal kept their cool as they had to hold on to a one goal lead for the last 15 minutes of the game despite looking so comfortable in the first half and spells in the second half to overcome the struggling Championship side.

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.

A courageous performance this afternoon in Manchester saw Arsenal come away with three points. When the line-up was announced many were worried by starters Bellerin, Monreal and Coquelin but all these players had an outstanding game.

Arsenal were compact and disciplined most of the game bar a crazy ten minutes at the beginning of the second half. Man City never created a clear cut chance and the players and manager deserve credit as this match was dealt with in the correct manner. Gary Neville often remarked on commentary that Arsenal were brilliant and it look like the penny had dropped after a lot of dismal performances away from home.
