0-3: Arsenal, forward and Pep-Arteta duel in the round of 16

will have stellar Manchester City-Arsenal in the FA Cup round of 32. Nothing less than second in the Premier (and current English champion) against the current leader. A duel between Pep Guardiola and his friend Mikel Arteta. The ‘gunner’ team did not disappoint this Monday and surpassed thirty-two with a win at home against Oxford United, who play in the Third Division (0-3).

Arsenal, where Arteta fielded most of the away substitutes from the start, had problems in the first half, not having a single shot on goal. Just a few of the dangerous situations for each team. Eddie Nketiah sends a high ball.

Oxford United were able to defend successfully, positioning themselves very well on the pitch and making things complicated for the Premier leader. As he continues to do at the beginning of the second part, when Matt Turner (this Monday Arsenal’s starting goalkeeper) was frustrated. a chance by Matty Taylor after a mistake by Mohamed Elneny.

But the hope for ‘gunner’ fans is that Gabriel Martinelli has started to transform Arsenal’s attack. Bukayo Saka put in a good play, but Lewis Bate managed to deflect his shot. The London team began to lock in on Oxford United and finally broke down the wall.

It was in the 63rd minute when Fabio Vieira served a free kick and Elneny hit a header who beat Edward McGinty, goalkeeper of Oxford United. Arsenal had to wait more than two-thirds of the game to get ahead of the team led by Karl Robinson.

And in 70′ Fabio Vieira was again key by assisting Nketiah with a great pass which the English striker took advantage of to trick goalkeeper McGinty and get Arsenal’s second goal. Nketiah himself completed his double on 76′ by making it 0-3, this time assisted by Martinelli. Nketiah scored with an elegant and subtle touch which again beat McGinty.
