Arsenal 2 - 0 Wolves

FA Cup 4th Round

Patrick Vieira’s second half penalty conversion proved to be the winning goal as Arsenal advance to the fifth round of the FA Cup with a convincing 2-0 win over Wolves.

Freddie Ljungberg added an insurance goal from close range in the 82nd minute, but the result was never in doubt, as the Gunners dominated the match from the start.

In fact, if it were not for some stellar play from the Wolves keeper, the score could have been much more lopsided.

The draw for the fifth round takes place at lunch time in London on Monday, so we’ll know what’s up just as we’re beginning our days here in the States. The fifth round ties are scheduled for the weekend of February 19 & 20. Considering that Arsenal play Bayern Munich in Germany on the 22nd, my money is on the 19th.

Of more pressing concern is this Tuesday’s upcoming match at Highbury against ManUre. The northern scum are only one point behind in the league, so it’s imperitive that the Gunners take advantage of this opportunity to not only put some space between themselves and ManUre, but also make a statement by reversing the result at Old Trafford earlier this year that saw the end of Arsenal’s 49 game league unbeaten streak.

Kickoff is at 3PM ET on Tuesday, and the match is being broadcast live on Fox Sports World.
