Outstanding performance
Arsenal•MidfielderArsenal survived a genuine FA Cup scare at Mansfield Town, needing substitute Eberechi Eze to rescue them from potential humiliation. The Gunners took the lead through Noni Madueke's well-taken finish from the left side of the box, but their defensive fragility was exposed when Will Evans leveled for the League Two side early in the second half. Arsenal's response was telling - Mikel Arteta immediately turned to his bench, introducing Timber, Lewis, and crucially Eze, who fired home the winner from the penalty area. Despite dominating possession, Arsenal looked vulnerable to Mansfield's direct approach and needed Kepa to make crucial saves to preserve their narrow advantage.
