Blackpool 0-3 Arsenal: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Willock Stars in Comfortable Gunners Triumph

Joe Willock's brace inspired Arsenal to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Blackpool, as the Gunners safely booked their progression into the fourth round of the FA Cup.

In a dominant opening period from the Gunners, 19-year-old striker Eddie Nketiah was guilty of missing two clear-cut chances in the space of the first ten minutes. Unai Emery's side's superiority however, eventually told, when Aaron Ramsey's deflected free-kick came off the post, and straight into the path of the predatory Willock to head home.

The Arsenal then added his second of the evening, when after some good build-up play from Alex Iwobi and Carl Jenkinson down the right hand side, was on hand to fire home from a cross at the back post.
