FA Cup Review: Iheanacho Nets For City, Arsenal Push On As Man United Get Late Win

Kelechi Iheanacho was on song for Manchester City, Rooney won it late for toothless Manchester United while Arsenal came from behind to dump out Sunderland.

Wayne Rooney's stoppage-time penalty spared Manchester United from an embarrassing goalless draw as they edged third-tier Sheffield United 1-0 in the FA Cup third round on Saturday.

Holders Arsenal and Manchester City both had little trouble reaching round four, but United looked destined for an unwanted replay until Rooney struck in the 93rd minute after a foul on substitute Memphis Depay.

INCREDIBLE: Arsenal Fan Corrects Man United's Site Over FA Cup Record Blunder

This was some brilliant investigative work by Arsenal fan Jeremy Livingston.
While browsing Manchester United’s website, the Gooners noticed an egregious error in the trophy room section.

Despite the fact that United were surpassed in FA Cup hauls by Arsenal last May, the United website was still making the claim that they shared a record 11 wins with Arsenal.

5 Things Arsenal Must Do To Keep Winning

Jon Spurling earmarks strikers, steel and injury prevention as areas for improvement for Arsene Wenger... Arsenal wiped the floor with Aston Villa at Wembley on Saturday to secure back-to-back FA Cup wins, and already Arsene Wenger and his players are talking of a genuine Premier League title challenge next season – perhaps even a tilt at Champions League glory.

Yet despite an improved league position (if not a points tally), the potency of Alexis Sanchez and some wonderful attacking play, the Gunners finished a hefty 12 points behind Chelsea and were humbled at home against Monaco in Europe, going down 3-1 and crashing out in the last 16. There were also a couple of calamitous away days, after which a minority of fans called for Wenger’s head. So how do they ensure those events don't happen once again next season? Here's the Gunners' five steps for success...

Sign a new striker

Angel Can Inspire FA Cup Glory - Ryan Giggs

Angel Di Maria, whose form has declined since his British record transfer from Real Madrid to Manchester United, can still play an important role in his side's quest for success this season, according to assistant manager Ryan Giggs.

The 27-year-old Argentine became the most expensive player signed by a British club when he joined United for 59.7 million pounds ($90.3 million) last year but after scoring three times in his first five league matches, he has not found the net since January.

Brown Ideye's Turnaround Can Help Albion Survive Relegation - James Morrison

James Morrison reckons Brown Ideye’s timely turnaround could be the “little trigger” which sparks Albion’s Premier League survival mission and FA Cup crusade. Ideye’s four goals in a week helped ease the Baggies away from the top flight drop zone and fired them into a quarter final derby clash against Villa in the cup.

A goal in the draw at Burnley, a goal in the win over Swansea and a brace in the victory over West Ham took his tally to six and represented a remarkable transformation for the striker whose days at The Hawthorns seemed numbered as recently as a fortnight ago.

I Brought Yakubu Aiyegbeni To Score Goals - Steve Clarke

Reading boss Steve Clarke said Yakubu Aiyegbeni’s winner in the FA Cup was exactly why he brought the striker to the club. Former Super Eagles forward Yakubu Aiyegbeni on Saturday made a little bit of history by putting Reading into the quarter-finals for only the fourth time since the club was formed in 1871.

It was a superb finish from the 32-year-old which has earned plaudits from the Royals boss, Steve Clarke and he said, “We knew what we were getting when we signed him, Yak’s a goalscorer and we brought him in for games like that, when it’s open and you know you’re going to create chances towards the end.

I Refused To Speak To The Players After Bradford Clash - Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has revealed that he did not speak to his Chelsea players after their humiliating FA Cup loss to Bradford on Saturday. The Blues threw away a 2-0 lead at Stamford Bridge to lose 4-2 to the League One outfit and Mourinho was left fuming at his players’ collapse.

As such, the Portuguese has revealed that he refused to give a team-talk at full-time, such was his disdain for his side’s display.

FA CUP: Chelsea vs Bradford Preview

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says it will be "a disgrace" if the Premier League leaders are knocked out of the FA Cup by League One side Bradford. Captain John Terry and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will be rested, replaced by Kurt Zouma and Petr Cech. Andre Schurrle and Mohamed Salah are involved after being linked with moves.

Bradford have striker Billy Clarke back in contention after six games out with a knee injury, but on-loan goalkeeper Jordan Pickford will play no part.

FA CUP: Low Cambridge Hold Manchester United

Manchester United were held to a 0-0 draw at fourth tier Cambridge United in the FA Cup fourth round on Friday after another embarrassing outing against lower league opposition. Cambridge, promoted from the minor leagues into the professional pyramid last season, gave the Manchester millionaires a lesson in terms of desire and defensive organisation.

The home side even had the best opportunity in the first half when Josh Coulson headed over from close range as the visitors, with Wayne Rooney rested, were reduced to half chances.

How The FA Cup Trophy Saved Arsene Wenger's Job - Mikel Arteta

Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta said winning the FA Cup final saved Arsene Wenger's job. Wenger's long-standing position at the north London club was in jeopardy after nine years without a trophy, before the FA Cup breakthrough in May rewarded the fans' patience.

Arsenal trailed 2-0 early against underdogs Hull City, before launching a brilliant come-from-behind win - eventually triumphing 3-2 in extra time. Captain Arteta said Wenger's job was saved by their victory.

FA CUP : Wenger Hails Cup Win As His Most Important Success

Arsenal's dramatic Wembley win against Hull City was the most important victory of Arsene Wenger's 18 years in charge, the five-times FA Cup winning manger said on Saturday.

Despite winning eight major trophies including three Premier League titles, during his long reign at the club, the Frenchman ranks their 3-2 FA Cup final win over Hull to end a nine-year trophy drought as their most important success.

An Aaron Ramsey goal in extra time capped an amazing comeback for Arsenal, who found themselves two goals down after eight minutes, and ensured the club's name was etched on the trophy for the 11th time, equalling Manchester United's all-time record.

Aaron Ramsey Ends Arsenal's Nine Years Trophy Drought As Gunners Win FA Cup

Arsenal ended their nine-year trophy drought thanks to Aaron Ramsey's extra-time winner as the Gunners came from 2-0 down to defeat Hull and win the FA Cup.

The Welshman prodded home a backheel from Olivier Giroud in the second period of extra-time to condemn Steve Bruce's side to a 3-2 loss at Wembley.

Arsene Wenger's side were stunned by Hull, who scored twice inside the opening eight minutes, first through a reaction flick from James Chester before Curtis Davies cooly slotted home from a tight angle.

Five Things You Need To Know About The FA Cup Final

When Arsenal beat Manchester United in a penalty shootout to win the FA Cup in 2005, few can have imagined that Arsene Wenger's team would still be waiting for its next piece of silverware nine years later. Yet that is the situation facing Arsenal ahead of its latest opportunity to end the trophy drought - an FA Cup final against Hull City at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

OLIVIER GIROUD: FA Cup Trophy And Champions League Qualification Good For Arsenal

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud believes that an FA Cup win and fourth-placed Premier League finish would be a "good season" for his team.

Arsene Wenger's men dropped out of the title race after a four-match winless run starting in late March and are fighting with Everton for the final Champions League spot, but the Gunners enter an FA Cup final against Hull on May 17 as hot favourites, looking to end a nine-year trophy drought.

"If we finish fourth, we have not lost anything and it will be a good season. I think that, if we finish fourth, that will be a successful season and the FA Cup, if we win, would be a bonus," Giroud told the press.

VERMALEN: FA Cup Win Against Wigan Gives Us Confidence

Thomas Vermaelen has praised Arsenal's fighting spirit following Saturday's FA Cup semi-final penalty shootout win over Wigan. The Gunners appeared to be heading for defeat at Wembley thanks to a 63rd-minute penalty from Jordi Gomez, only for Per Mertesacker to level the scores with eight minutes remaining.

Arsenal went on to win the penalty shootout 4-2 and Vermaelen believes that the triumph will act as a timely boost for Arsenal and ease some of the pressure on Arsene Wenger following a run of poor form.

"There was a lot of talk about needing the result for a few different reasons, for the manager and showing we could fight and I think we did that," Vermaelen told reporters.

Manchester City`s FA Cup Failure Puts Arsenal In Position To End Trophy Drought

The FA Cup may well have lost some of its grandeur but the events of this weekend just gone confirm the competition will forever retain its unique appeal.

Victories for Sheffield United and Hull City prompted scenes of unbridled joy, while Wigan's defeat of Manchester City represented the most astonishing upset since, well since the Latics won the trophy at Wembley nine months ago at the expense of Manuel Pellegrini’s side, then managed by Roberto Mancini.

At the Emirates Stadium 24 hours earlier the overriding emotion was one of relief as a frenetic and thoroughly absorbing cup tie ended with a scoreline that hardly reflected the evenness of Arsenal’s meeting with Everton.
