Arsenal 3 - 1 Plymouth (Van Persie 47, 84, Gray 49 (og) Duguid 52) Highlights here; Arsene’s reaction here A fairly routine win over Plymouth, and it’s a trickier looking tie away to last year’s finalists Cardiff in the next round. I have to say, it was a rare delight to see an Arsenal side who were comfortably [...] -
