Sports - Football - FA Cup - Arsenal 3:0 Burnley
The best match, players and goals of the weekend all come from the Emirates this weekend. The Arsenal youngsters impressed in every way with three beauties of goals against Burnley, who had eliminated them from the Carling Cup in December.
Calos Vela, Eduardo and Emmanueal Eboue were all on the score sheet with Alexandre Song the provider to the last two, completing a truely sweet revenge.
Five minutes into the second half, Song clipped a cross towards Eduardo at the back post who volleyed the ball back into the top corner across Jensen with the outside of his left foot (right picture).
With only six minutes to go, Song was involved again this time back heeling to the onrushing Eboue who fired past Jensen.
The much-criticised Arsenal side can be proud of the performance and if they beat Hull, they will meet Chelsea in the semi-final. It was a joy to watch showing the beauty of the game. Watching the replays again and again just made me wonder how a team that can create such quality is struggeling for a Champions League place in the Premier League. It just shows that it depends on the day - hopefully the Gunners will be rewarded for their display with some cup glory come May.
