'Lincoln have quality and will go up'

Lincoln City’s run to the Emirates FA Cup quarter-finals has been one of the biggest stories of this season - and Arsène Wenger is a big admirer.

The National League side frustrated the Gunners for long periods of the first half before Theo Walcott’s goal broke the deadlock.

Wenger’s side eventually ran out 5-0 winners, but the Arsenal manager spoke of his admiration for Danny Cowley’s side in his post-match press conference:

on Lincoln City…
It was difficult. They knocked Ipswich out. They knocked Brighton out. They knocked Burnley out at Burnley.
