Arsenal delivered a dominant performance in the FA Cup fourth round, defeating third-division side Wigan Athletic 4-0 at home. The London club sealed the result within just 16 minutes, scoring all four goals between the 11th and 27th minutes. With this victory, Arsenal advanced comfortably to the next round and kept their pursuit of titles alive in all four competitions this season.

Midfielder Eberechi Eze provided assists for the first two goals, finished by Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli. Wigan’s defender Jack Hunt then inadvertently scored an own goal, before Gabriel Jesus added the fourth to end any remaining suspense. Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga made several key saves to preserve a clean sheet, notably stopping efforts from Joe Taylor and Rafael Rodriguez. Although Victor Gyökeres struck the crossbar in the second half, Arsenal’s first-half surge proved decisive.

The win marked the first time since the 1992–93 season that Arsenal scored four goals within the opening 30 minutes of an FA Cup match.
