Preston North End v Arsenal (FA Cup 2016-17)

Preston North End v Arsenal was a match which took place at Deepdale on Saturday 7th January 2017.

Arsenal progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup as Olivier Giroud's late goal saw off a spirited Preston at Deepdale.

The Gunners had fallen behind to their Championship opponents when Callum Robinson took advantage of poor defending to finish from close range.

Robinson then had a goal disallowed before Aaron Ramsey equalised early in the second half with a powerful drive.

Giroud then sealed victory with his fourth goal in as many games.

Wenger has now overseen 21 wins in the 21 FA Cup third-round games he has been in charge of at Arsenal, but it was far from a comfortable win after a disappointing first-half display in which Preston were unfortunate not to lead by more than one goal.
