    SMITH ROWE'S SHOT GOES NARROWLY WIDE
    Martinelli races forward as he does so often and pulls a cross back to Smith Rowe, whose shot deflects wide.
    78'
    ARSENAL HAVE ONE FOOT IN THE FOURTH ROUND
    Martinelli plays a great through ball for Nketiah to run onto, and with one goal already to his name, beautifully dinks the ball over McGinty for his second as the ball rolls over the line.

    GREAT DEFENSIVE HEADER FROM GABRIEL
    He does excellently to win the ball in a crowded penalty box to clear a dangerous Oxford cross.
    54'
    ARSENAL'S BEST CHANCE YET
    Vieira runs onto a ball over the top and finds Saka in the box with a cheeky flick, who cuts inside and takes aim at goal. His effort beats McGinty but is stopped on the line and cleared for a corner.
    50'
    BETTER FROM MARTINELLI
    He receives the ball out wide and twists and turns as he looks for a way into the Oxford box, proving to be difficult to manage, but the hosts get the ball off of him and put it out for a throw.
