The Football Association (FA) will launch an investigation into suspicious betting patterns surrounding Arsenal’s FA Cup win at Oxford on Monday night, the PA news agency understands. The Gunners will face Manchester City in the FA Cup fourth round thanks to Mohamed Elneny’s header and Eddie Nketiah’s brace.
Arsenal were left frustrated in the first half before finding their rhythm later in the match as they eventually cruised to victory. The north London outfit continued their unbeaten run in all competitions and have lost just three matches all season.
One Oxford player was shown a yellow card during the second half of the match after committing a foul, which turned out to be the only booking in the match. PA understands that the FA are aware of the matter and have launched an investigation.
