'Not the best' - Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah makes Man City admission after FA Cup draw

Arsenal's two-goal hero Eddie Nketiah has admitted that drawing Manchester City in the FA Cup was not ideal for his side.

The Gunners were initially frustrated at the League One side in the first half as the U's stubborn defensive play prevented Mikel Arteta's team from going in ahead at the break. However just after the hour mark Arsenal found the breakthrough as Mohamed Elneny headed home a free kick from close range.

Nketiah made it two with 20 minutes to go when he rounded Edward McGinty in the Oxford goal. Six minutes later the Gunners were out of sight when the 23-year-old produced a delightful chip for the visitors to seal their place in the next round.
