A first-half brace from Joe Willock set us on the way to a well-earned win to start our Emirates FA Cup campaign in fine style.
The teenage midfielder showed great scoring instincts to twice pop up in the right place and put us in control at the break, while Alex Iwobi tapped home late on to seal our progression to the fourth round.
Willock broke the deadlock inside 10 minutes, reacting quickest inside the area to head home when Aaron Ramsey's free-kick bounced back off the crossbar.
Joe's in good company
League One side Blackpool gave as good as they got in the first half, and had several shots of their own, though nothing that unduly troubled Petr Cech.
