FA CUP: Arsenal humble Liverpool, meet Everton in Q-finals

Arsene Wenger’s men got revenge for their drubbing at Anfield thanks to goals from the German and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and will now host Everton in the quarter finals.

 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain handed the hosts an early advantage after 16 minutes, sliding the ball home from inside the area to register a third goal from his last three appearances at the Emirates Stadium.

The England international then turned provider shortly after the interval, pulling a ball back for Lukas Podolski after a smart one-two between himself and Mesut Ozil.

Steven Gerrard’s penalty gave Liverpool hope a minute before the hour and the visitors were aggrieved when referee Howard Webb failed to award another spot-kick after Oxlade-Chamberlain appeared to foul Luis Suarez in the area.

The draw in full:
Arsenal vs Everton
Brighton or Hull City vs Sunderland
Sheffield United vs Sheffield Wednesday or Charlton
Manchester City vs Wigan Athletic

Photo: Wenger tumbles after Liverpool bashing

The Arsenal boss did not look happy as he fell on his backside while carrying suitcases through train station

Arsene Wenger suffered a double blow yesterday when he took a tumble after his team, Arsenal, were hammered 5-1 by Liverpool.

Manager Wenger was rushing through Liverpool Lime Street station with players to get the train back to London when he slipped and fell heavily on his backside.

The 64-year-old is pictured pulling along a suitcase as he enters the station, but once he is through the doors, he slips almost hitting his head on a pane of glass.

The Frenchman grimaced in pain and rubbed his behind as two British Transport Police officers helped him up.

A club spokesman said: “He’s fine."
