Arsenal scored four times in 17 first-half minutes to cruise through to the fifth round of the FA Cup with an emphatic 4-0 victory over League One Wigan at the Emirates.
Noni Madueke opened the scoring after 11 minutes, Gabriel Martinelli doubled the lead seven minutes later, Jack Hunt turned into his own net after 23 minutes, and Gabriel Jesus struck in the 27th minute to put the game beyond doubt.
Mikel Arteta made eight changes from the side that drew at Brentford, but the hosts were dominant. Eberechi Eze, who had been under scrutiny for form, provided the assists for the first two goals.
Wigan, 22nd in League One and without a permanent manager after Ryan Lowe was sacked following a 6-1 defeat last weekend, avoided further damage after the interval but never threatened a comeback.
The victory keeps Arsenal in contention for an unprecedented quadruple, with the Premier League, Champions League, Carabao Cup and FA Cup all still possible as March approaches.
