Stoke City

Stoke City boss Mark Robins, speaking to TNT Sports: "I thought we did alright, thought we played OK.

"Disappointed we didn't come out and add to the lead and give away, from our perspective, two poor goals, but we're playing against top players.

"Some brilliant performances. I thought Lamine Cisse was outstanding today. Tomas Rigo showed glimpses, and we dealt with their threat pretty well.

"They have incredible players to bring on, so when you're tiring, and they bring on quality and fresh legs, it can be difficult.

"I have to be fairly pleased."

Fulham

Fulham boss Marco Silva, speaking to TNT Sports: "Very pleased with the way we played, the way we controlled the game and the way we reacted from the first goal. We created enough to have a different score – I don't think 2-1 reflects our chances. We did enough to score more goals. We kept them under pressure."

On not giving up after going a goal down: "It has been our image as a team. Even if something goes wrong for us, we don't have any reason to change things or give up.

"It is not part of our dictionary and not part of our dressing room. This game was important to have some players back from injury and give minutes in an official game, which is important.

"Harrison Reed is always that key player for us in that key area."

On aiming for FA Cup success: "We believe like we showed in the last few years that we are capable to go [far]. These type of competitions, the draw is a big part. We are serious in the competition."

Then, we went to Blundell Park, where Wolves were greeted by a mud bath. Fortunately, the game went on, but Grimsby departed from the FA Cup after a 1-0 loss.

Finally, Wigan may be 4-0 down at half-time, but I think they win the award for best mascot.

While it’s half-time, let’s have a look back at some of the reaction from the earlier games…

A ruthless Arsenal take a 4-0 lead into the break.

Eberechi Eze is the first Arsenal player to record multiple assists in a home FA Cup match since Hector Bellerin vs Sunderland in January 2016.

A long ball forward from Arsenal finds Gabriel Martinelli. He looks to play in Bukayo Saka but his first touch gets away from him in the box.

That's better. Wigan are getting bodies up the pitch, and doing something other than defending is what they have to hold onto for the second half.

Owen Moxon takes the ball deep in his own half and bursts up the pitch. He goes right to Raphael Borges Rodrigues, who has a go but Kepa Arrizabalaga gets down to it well.

Gabriel Martinelli is having a great time for Arsenal in the cups and in Europe.

He's scored just once in the Premier League this season but has netted 10 times in 13 games in European and cup competitions in 2025-26 for Arsenal.

He's the first player to score 10+ goals in cup and European competitions in a single season for Arsenal since Ian Wright in 1994-95 (12).

Noni Madueke is seeing plenty of the ball and this time he goes inside to Bukayo Saka. He tries to create space for a shot but it's closed down.

Joe Taylor does incredibly well to control Sam Tickle's long ball while holding off a defender.

He's able to knock it to a team-mate to his right but the attack breaks down.

Arsenal go short with the free-kick to Noni Madueke. He digs a cross out from the byline and Cristhian Mosquera is inches away from making it five.

Bukayo Saka's feet are too quick for Will Aimson and Arsenal win a free-kick.

Sam Tickle launches one forward but William Saliba eats those sort of long balls for dinner.

You've got to feel for Wigan here as Joe Taylor does well to break free of William Saliba in the box. He looks certain to score but Kepa Arrizabalaga pulls off a great save.

It's got to the point that the Wigan fans are cheering when they complete a pass.
