FA Cup: Bournemouth 1-2 Arsenal (VIDEO)

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta felt his young side showed "courage" to overcome struggling Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium and set up an FA Cup fifth-round trip to Portsmouth.

Mikel Arteta's side were good value for their victory, the platform for progress into the next round built on first-half goals from Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah.

Bournemouth substitute Sam Surridge pulled a goal back deep into eight minutes of stoppage to give the scoreline a look of respectability and give Arsenal some late anxious moments, but in reality the Gunners were by far the superior team.

"I'm very pleased. I knew it was going to be a tough game and we played a really young squad," said Arteta. "I wanted to see the reaction and I was very pleased because I saw a lot of things I really liked.

"In the first half we were really, really good. They executed everything we planned in a really good way and showed he courage to make big decisions.

"We played with that accountability, making decisions and I really liked it. They were terrific with their work-rate, showed courage to make those big decisions and not to play safe.
