Match report: Portsmouth 0-2 Arsenal

Sokratis and Eddie Nketiah were on target as we eased into the last eight of the Emirates FA Cup.

We took the lead with a centre forward's finish from a centre back playing at right back.

Our Greek defender was the goalscorer, volleying in Reiss Nelson's pacy cross on the run after Dani Ceballos had picked out Nelson on the right.

That was pretty much the last action of the first half - and we gave ourselves a cushion early in the second half.

Nelson was again the provider, bursting down the right to cross for Nketiah, who reacted in a flash to find the roof of the net after his first attempt to finish was thwarted.
