The Gunners’ league form has been underwhelming since the restart, with the FA Cup clash with Sheffield Utd seen as a chance to regroup. A Nicolas Pepe penalty and late Dani Ceballos winner were enough to secure the victory in normal time, though the Gunners were made to scrap every step of the way. The Blades has two goals disallowed for offside, and thought they had sent the game to extra time after David McGoldrick’s 87th minute equaliser. Arsenal eventually emerged on top, however, and boss Arteta expressed his joy at the positive result. Speaking to BBC Sport following the match, the Spaniard said: “I am really pleased. “This is a difficult place to come and get a win. We are back at Wembley. “I am really happy with the attitude and performance of the players. “It is a great opportunity to try and win a title and play in Europe.
