FA Cup upset avoided as quadruple ambitions remain alive
Arsenal secured their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 2-1 victory over Mansfield on Saturday afternoon.
The victory meant Mikel Arteta’s side remain in all competitions this season, with some ambitious fans eyeing up a historic quadruple.
While Gunners ultimately controlled most of the game, Mansfield made it difficult for the visitors.
Noni Madueke scored the opening goal in the first half.
However, as play resumed in the second half, Will Evans bagged an equaliser, giving the home fans something to cheer about.
It was Eberechi Eze who won it for the Gunners, holding off the defender, shifting the ball to his right, and rifling a right-footed shot into the top corner.
