Kepa Arrizabalaga shared his thoughts on a 2-1 win for **Arsenal**against Mansfield Town.
The team at the top of the Premier League were clear favourites to get through in this **FA Cup**tie, but the battle for the Gunners was uncomfortable. A stunning strike from Eberechi Eze sealed a spot in the quarter finals as the visitors keep alive their hope for silverware across four competitions.
Along the way, there was game time for three teenagers, and the goalkeeper gave them their flowers.
*“Wow! At 16 years old, they [Max Dowman, Marli Salmon, Jaden Dixon] play at the highest level. And how they play - they play so well. They are special kids who are used to training with us, they are used to being around us. They had the opportunity, I think they took it, and I am so happy for them.*
"We lost some important balls, but I thought we also had some opportunities to kill the game, which we didn't do, and we gave them the confidence to be in the game until the end. It is something we have to improve; we have to be more clinical in both boxes. That is something we have to focus on for the next games, because they are very important.
*"The goal was to be in the next round, and we are ready. We have the [**Champions League*] with a couple of big games, and we will be focused. We knew that these types of games and competition is always difficult. It was tricky, we were focused and we knew what was going on. The most important thing is that we are through. We were expecting that. We have to play these types of games – they are not easy. The pitch, you have to adapt. There are no excuses. We had to adapt and win the game."
