Result: Arsenal 5-0 Lincoln City 

Date: 11 March 2017

Venue: Emirates Stadium

Arsenal progressed to the FA Cup semi-finals, after thumping Non-League club, Lincoln City 5-0 at the Emirates Stadium.

The visitors held their own for most of the opening 30 minutes against the Premier League giants, although they struggled to carve out chances of their own.

The Gunners were dealt a blow after 27 when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was forced off with an injury. He was replaced by Mesut Ozil.

The deadlock was eventually broken on the stroke of halftime, as Theo Walcott fired into the bottom corner.

Arsenal doubled their lead in the 53rd minute as Olivier Giroud calmly slotted home from 12-yards out, after being teed up by Hector Bellerin.

It was 3-0 five minutes later when Lincoln's Luke Waterfall turned Keiran Gibb's cross into his own from six-yards out.

Arsene Wenger then opted for a double change as Francis Coquelin and Lucas Perez were introduced in the after 65 minutes.

Sanchez then added his name on the score-sheet in the 72nd minute, as the Chilean skipped past two players before curling the ball into the far corner, 5-0.

Aaron Ramsey rounded off the scoring three minutes later as he slotted into an empty net, after some fine work by Sanchez, 5-0.
