Cup Fourth Round, Amex Stadium - Brighton 2 (O'Grady 24 Baldock 75) Arsenal 3 (Walcott 2 Ozil 24 Rosicky 59)
Arsenal qualified for the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 3-2 win over Brighton, with goals from the returning Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil.
It took just two minutes for Arsenal to break the deadlock, when Calum Chambers cross to Walcott after a powerful run down the right wing, and Walcott's close control and quick finish beat David Stockdale.
Ozil then made it two when Santi Cazorla had time and space to slip him through, and the German coolly converted.
In the second half, Laurent Koscielny's woeful clearance fell to Chris O'Grady, who slammed in a shot at the near post to pull a goal back after just five minutes. Less than 10 minutes later, Tomas Rosicky's brilliant volley restored Arsenal's two-goal cushion.
With a quarter of an hour remaining, Sam Baldock pulled one back with a good finish. Arsenal were able to hold on, and were the more likely of the two sides to score again.
