Arsenal put in a commanding performance on Saturday as they beat Wigan Athletic 4 - 0 in the English FA Cup fourth round at the Emirates Stadium in London. The Gunners were ruthless in the opening half hour, scoring four goals inside 17 minutes to take control early. Noni Madueke opened the scoring in the 11th minute before Gabriel Martinelli doubled the lead shortly after. A mistake from Wigan defender Jack Hunt saw an own goal added to the tally, and Gabriel Jesus capped the blitz with a finish just before the half hour mark.

The emphatic victory sees Arsenal advance to the FA Cup fifth round for the first time since 2020, keeping their hopes alive in one of England’s oldest cup competitions. The comprehensive win was a strong response after a recent league draw, and it gave manager Mikel Arteta’s side momentum as they compete on multiple fronts this season.

With a full schedule ahead, the win also offered fans and players a confidence boost, as Arsenal look to challenge for trophies domestically and in cup competitions.
