Arsenal send Liverpool Packing from FA Cup Competition

Sharing is caring!

Arsenal prevailed 2-1 in a pulsating FA Cup tie against Liverpool at Emirates Stadium to book their place in the quarter-finals.

Arsene Wenger’s men managed to survive a shaky start similar to that of last weekend’s 5-1 mauling at Anfiled and opened the scoring after 16 minutes thanks to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Lukas Podolski made it 2-0 for the increasingly confident Gunners early in the second half, but Steven Gerrard reduced Liverpool’s arrears from the penalty spot after Luis Suarez was fouled.

Suarez had another strong penalty appeal turned down as Liverpool applied the pressure, but Arsenal held on in a thrilling finale to set up a home clash with Everton in the next round.
