Pompey had a bright start before Gunners settled into the tie. FMTNews Arsenal
PORTSMOUTH: Arsenal bounced back from their Europa League heartache to reach the FA Cup quarterfinals as goals from Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Eddie Nketiah sealed a 2-0 win at Portsmouth on Monday.
Sokratis put Arsenal ahead just before halftime and Nketiah bagged the second soon after the interval.The 37-year-old would love to end his first season in charge with another victory lap around Wembley, especially given their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League are hanging in the balance. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mesut Ozil were absent, while Alexandre Lacazette and Nicolas Pepe were on the bench.
They went from finishing eighth in the Premier League in 2007-08 to 13th in League Two in 2013-14 amid the threat of liquidation. Kenny Jackett’s side had a glorious chance to take the lead when Steve Seddon’s cross picked out Gareth Evans, but he headed wide from 10 yards.
