Eddie Nketiah scored twice as Arsenal win 3-0 at League One side Oxford United to set up an FA Cup tie at Manchester City.

Oxford play host to Arsenal at the Kassam Stadium in Oxford, England. Oxford start the show! This is an obvious chance for Kieran Tierney to stake his claim for a more regular Arsenal starting berth. Oxford are growing in belief. Will Arsenal bring on the big Gunners? Then two tasty — and successful — challenges go in from their heroes, just to ramp the excellent atmosphere up a notch. Oxford deal with the danger comfortably. Oxford are harassing Arsenal and almost create a dangerous opportunity from the left. Oxford clear with ease, then Matt Taylor wins a foul as the result of a clumsy challenge by Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga. Gabriel Martinelli causes Oxford a couple of scares with vicious inswinging corners from the right. Arsenal set up a fourth-round tie at Manchester City! After Arsenal fell at this stage last season at Nottingham Forest — then a Championship club — Arteta had offered an apology to fans.

Eddie Nketiah bagged a brace to help us ease past Oxford United in the FA Cup third round.

And on 76 minutes, the striker showed more excellent composure to add his second and our third of the night. That goal seemingly broke the resilience of the hosts, and just seven minutes later we doubled our advantage. After the restart, our tempo was higher and we immediately began causing more problems for our opponents.
