Arsenal have continued their unbeaten run after beating Oxford United in their FA Cup third round tie. The Gunners are now set to face Premier League title rivals Manchester City in the next round at the end of the month.
Mikel Arteta made seven changes to his starting team but the lack of squad depth in attack and defence saw him retain Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Magalhaes from the frustrating draw against Newcastle. Arsenal struggled to get going against the League One side before finding a breakthrough after Mohamed Elneny headed home a Fabio Vieira free-kick.
Eddie Nketiah sealed the win with two well-taken goals as Saka limped off the pitch, being replaced by the returning Emile Smith Rowe. The Gunners boss confirmed that Saka was "all fine" after the win against Oxford as they now turn their attention back to the Premier League.
