Arsenal have eventually broken down Oxford in their FA Cup match thanks to a goal from a surprise goalscorer.
The Gunners struggled to create clear-cut chances in the first half but have now taken the lead after a free-kick was awarded to the Premier League side.
Fabio Vieira produced a wonderful cross into the box from the set-piece which was met by the head of a surprise goalscorer in Mohamed Elneny to make it 1-0 to Arsenal – his first goal since May 2021.
GOAL!
Oxford United 0-1 Arsenal
