With brilliant performances from playmaker Eberechi Eze and striker Noni Madueke, Arsenal easily overcame Wigan to advance further in the FA Cup with a convincing 4-0 victory.

Arsenal have just demonstrated their overwhelming strength in the FA Cup with a resounding 4-0 victory over Wigan. Despite a personnel setback just before kick-off when Riccardo Calafiori suffered an injury during the warm-up, Mikel Arteta's side maintained their dominance throughout the match thanks to the brilliant performances of their attacking players.

Maestro Eberechi Eze and the explosive attack.

The spotlight of the match belonged to Eberechi Eze. The midfielder had a world-class performance, becoming the driving force behind every attacking move for the home team. Eze's control of the game and tactical vision created plenty of space for forwards like Madueke and Martinelli to exploit.

The mark left by unavoidable adjustments.

The fact that Bukayo Saka had to start in place of Calafiori unexpectedly created an interesting variable. Despite playing in a rather unfamiliar free-roaming role, the English star still showed his class by directly contributing to the third goal of the match.

Bukayo Saka - 7 points. Originally expected to be rested, Saka was forced to start due to Riccardo Calafiori's unexpected injury during the warm-up. Despite only playing the first half and in a rather unfamiliar free-roaming role, he still managed to make his mark with a dangerous cross that led to Jack Hunt heading the ball into his own net.

In defense, the absence of key players forced young talent Myles Lewis-Skelly to fill the left-back position. Although still showing signs of inexperience, the support from William Saliba and Cristhian Mosquera helped Arsenal keep a clean sheet.
