Eddie Nketiah was delighted to again get on the scoresheet as Arsenal were comfortable winners at FA Cup opponents Portsmouth.

Pompey played well in the first half at Fratton Park but trailed to Sokratis Papastathopoulos' volley from Reiss Nelson's cross just before the break.

Nketiah bundled home from close range to wrap up the victory six minutes after the restart.

Pompey's only shot on target came in the second half, with substitute Ronan Curtis' effort saved.

The other fifth-round ties are on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The quarter-final draw is on Wednesday.

Nketiah said: "The goals came at the right time, we knew we were in for a hard game, knew the first goal would settle things.

"Then we kept pressing and going for the third. It was a great performance from the team.

"The manager said to keep going and up our intensity in the second half. We played quicker, gaps appeared and that's when we played out best football."

He added: "They made it hard for us and they came out fast. We fought and battled well and to win 2-0 is a great achievement. All the young boys - and the senior players - did really well and took their opportunities.

"We take all competitions very seriously. At the moment we are getting chances and we are all eager to take them - we want to do as well as we can."
