Eberechi Eze scored the winning goal as Arsenal edged past third-tier Mansfield 2-1 on Saturday, booking their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals and keeping their hopes alive for a historic quadruple.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta made nine changes to the squad that beat Brighton 1-0 midweek, maintaining their seven-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.

Noni Madueke put the 14-time FA Cup winners ahead, but Mansfield responded just before halftime when substitute Will Evans leveled the score.

The match opened up in the second half, with both teams creating opportunities, before Eze struck decisively shortly after coming on, restoring Arsenal’s advantage.

“It was a proper FA Cup tie, and credit to Mansfield—the stadium, the fans, the atmosphere—they made it tough for us,” Arteta told TNT Sports.

The Spaniard added that his side must be more clinical in front of goal after a challenging afternoon in the East Midlands.
