The day after Manchester City and Liverpool qualified for the rest of the FA Cup, Arsenal also validated their ticket to the round of 16 of the competition. This Sunday, the Gunners easily disposed of Wigan (4-0). Faced with the residents of League One, the Londoners enforced their rank.
Everything was decided in the first half since all the goals in the match were scored before the break. It was first Chukwunonso Madueke who opened the scoring (11th) before Gabriel Martinelli followed suit (18th). It was then the unfortunate Jack Hunt who scored against his side (23rd) before Gabriel Jesus also found the fault (27th).
Nothing more will be marked during the second act. The opportunity for Mikel Arteta to rotate his squad slightly. Next meeting for the Gunners: Wolverhampton in the championship, February 18 (9 p.m.). Earlier today, the four other Premier League clubs entered all cleared the obstacle.
Arsenal and Premier League clubs move on

Finally, Fulham initially trailed Stoke City before reversing the situation in the second half thanks to Kevin (55th) and Harrison Reed (1-2, 84th).
