FT
It's all over. Arsenal produce a strong second-half display to advance to the sixth round of the FA Cup for the first time in three seasons.
90+1
A late run out for Maitland-Niles as he replaces Nelson.
90'
Three minutes to be added on.
87'
Second change for Arsenal as Xhaka replaces Willock.
85'
SHOT! Cannon takes a touch on the edge of the box and then fires a shot at goal, but he's leaning back and can't hit the target.
83'
The few times that Portsmouth have had the ball this half they have not held it very well. It's has been completely one-way traffic, which the first half certainly wasn't.
80'
More good work from Nelson as he gets between two defenders and, having breezed past one, wins a corner.
77'
CHANCE! Saka cuts in from the left side, then cuts back onto his left foot and hits a swerving shot that Bass tips over the bar.
76'
Can Portsmouth set up a grandstand finish? It doesn't look like it at the moment as Arsenal continue to dominate possession.
73'
Third change for Portsmouth as Cannon replaces Evans.
72'
Portsmouth get the ball in the final third for the first time in ages, but can't make anything happen.
69'
Nelson glides through the middle of the pitch and then turns on the afterburners again to easily escape a challenge. He gets to the edge of the box and sees a shot blocked.
67'
Double change for Pompey as Harrison and Harness make way for Marquis and Curtis.
65'
This has been a masterclass from Arsenal since scoring their second. They haven't really threatened a third but they have not given Portsmouth any chance at all of responding. Not a sniff.
61'
Still nothing at all for Portsmouth, who are pinned back inside their own half chasing shadows.
58'
The Portsmouth fans remain in good voice but Arsenal are bossing this game now.
Look at the burst of pace for Nelson for the goal. Even more impressive given this is his first game back from injury.
55'
Mikel Arteta might have had a stern word at half-time because Arsenal look a lot better than they did in the first half. They are hardly giving Portsmouth a touch.
53'
Is there anyway back for Portsmouth now? They surely need a response quickly.
51'
GOAL! Arsenal double their lead.
Nelson does brilliantly down the right as he gets McCrorie one-on-one and races past him before delivering a cross towards Nketiah at the near post. Nketiah is between two defenders and gets a bit fortunate as the ball bounces kindly and falls for him to finish from close range.
