Arsenal advanced to the last 16 of the FA Cup with a convincing win over League One side Wigan Athletic on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners rotated heavily, but were still clearly a class above their opposition, with an efficient first half performance leading to four goals.
Arteta threw caution to the wind with Ebere Eze and Bukayo Saka joining Cristian Norgaard in the midfield three and all the goals flowed through those central spaces.

Man of the match: Ebere Eze. Two great assists from deep in midfield, Eze showcased his unique skillset. Will be upset not to get a goal, as worked some good shooting opportunities, but it was a promising midfield display from Ebere. Big shoutout to Norgaard too, who was solid and effective at the base of midfield, and managed a brilliant assist of his own.
