FA Cup: Arsenal thrash Southampton, Wolves dump Liverpool

Arsenal progressed into the last 16 of the Emirates FA Cup, with a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Southampton at St. Marys Stadium on Saturday.

The Gunners had previously been dumped out of cup competitions by the Saints and travelled for the tricky 4th round tie, with manager Arsene Wenger serving a four-match ban.

Danny Welbeck, making his first start of this season, settled early nerves with two brilliant goals, before setting up Theo Walcott for the third.

Walcott went on to complete his hat-trick in the second half against his former club.

Liverpool were eliminated from yet another cup competition within a week, after they lost 2-1 to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield.

Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane and Yaya Toure all scored for Manchester City, as they crushed Crystal Palace 3-0 at Selhurt Park. Son Heuing-Min was the star of the show, as Tottenham Hotspur fought back from two goals to defeat Wycombe Wanderers 4-3 at White Hart Lane.

Chelsea also hammered Brentford 4-0 at Stamford Bridge.
