English FA Cup: Arsenal cruise pass Oxford to set up fourth round clash with Man City
Arsenal booked an FA Cup date with Manchester City following a comfortable 3-0 third round win against Oxford United on Monday night.
Second half goals from Mohamed Elneny and Eddie Nketiah were enough for Arsenal to advance.
In a fairly uneventful opening 45 minutes, Arsenal struggled to break Oxford down as the hosts were aggressive and made life difficult for the Premier League side.
Arsenal finally broke the deadlock through Elneny who powered home a pinpoint Vieira free kick in the 63rd minute.
Seven minutes later, Arsenal had a second as Nketiah continued his impressive goalscoring form.
Vieira played an inch-perfect through ball to the forward, who took the ball around McGinty and slotted it home into an empty net.
Nketiah delicately dinked the ball over McGinty six minutes later for his second and Arsenal’s third, as Mikel Arteta’s side booked their place in the fourth round.
Arsenal will travel to Manchester City at the end of January in the next round.
