Whether Arsenal go on to win the game or not, for 45 minutes we could see an Arsenal team with a plan and the desire to execute it.

As a result, they took a lead into the break against Pep Guardiola’s side after a quite splendid team goal, finished by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scoring his first goal against Manchester City in seven games but his second FA Cup goal in only his second FA Cup appearance.
