Outstanding performance
Arsenal•MidfielderArsenal cruised into the next round of the FA Cup with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over League One side Wigan Athletic at the Emirates. The Gunners effectively killed the tie within the opening 27 minutes, with Noni Madueke opening the scoring from close range before Gabriel Martinelli doubled the lead with a precise left-footed finish. An unfortunate own goal from Wigan's Jack Hunt compounded their misery, before Gabriel Jesus capped off a dominant first-half display with a spectacular strike into the top corner. With the tie beyond doubt, both managers made wholesale changes in the second half, allowing Arsenal to manage the game professionally while giving fringe players valuable minutes in cup competition.
