FA Cup: Arsenal and Villa win through

Arsenal held off a spirited Brighton at Amex Stadium to claim a 3-2 victory and a place in the FA Cup fifth round.

Hoping to avoid the fate of Barclays Premier League rivals Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham and Southampton, who were all dumped out of the competition on Saturday, the holders looked to be cruising when Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil put the holders two up at the break.
