The 5th round of FA Cup was played in Matchroom Stadium of Leyton Orient in their home ground. Arsene Wenger was fully conscious about the reshuffling of the team squad for the 5th round of FA Cup. 'Players need some rest. We have reserve team and they will do fine against Leyton Orient.'
There were altogether 10 changes in the squad. Only Sagna and Alex Song were of previous section. Almunia was given chance for goal keeping and Ignasi Miquel was there for his debut match as a defender.
The match was totally dominated by Arsenal, but they failed to score in first half. The cross from Bendtner was successfully utilized by Thomas Rosicky in the 53rd minute of the game and Arsenal lead the game by a goal to nill. The celebration could not last longer when the player from the bench was given permission to enter the field. Tehoue was the player from the home side that came in second half and gave a equalizing goal to the team.
Now Arsenal must play a replay match against Leyton Orient in Emirates Stadium. With their high home support in Emirates, they will be looking forward to win the game with massive goal difference. They are in the FA cup 5th round and they must head forward.
There was a vast difference between the talent among two clubs but the pitch, the crowds and the time was against Arsenal at Matchroom Stadium in that match. The reshuffled team could not show their magic that night.
Arsene Wenger is still surprised by that result as they should have won that match. Arsenal has got best away form and they got equalized with such team. It is again a big fixture for him as he has got busy tie sheet this month.
They must win the next game against Leyton Orient at home to face Manchester United in the FA CUP 6th round.
Make your finger cross and wish them a good luck for up coming match against Stoke City on 23rd February.
