    GOAL - Arsenal 2-0 Manchester City

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (71 mins)

    Wow! What a clinical counter attack! Arsenal have been swamped by attacks all half but one sharp move could have booked a place in the FA Cup final.

    Kieran Tierney again plays the key ball down the left, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is onside and runs in on goal. Eric Garcia gets back but the former Dortmund man knows exactly how long he's got and just cool as you like slots under Ederson.

    Aubameyang scores his second goal of the night making it 2-0 to Arsenal

  2. 'Arsenal's evening?'

    Is it going to be Arsenal's evening?

    Mikel Arteta is fired up for this. He was rallying his Arsenal troops at the drinks break.

    He'll know this is a monumental effort but they have to make sure they see it through.

    Is it me or have City lost some of their intensity since the CAS decision went in their favour?

  7. Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City

    For the first however many months we had VAR you tended to think that if they watched anything enough times, they would make a decision to give a penalty/rule out a goal etc.

    Not so tonight.

    City are piling on the pressure now, Kevin de Bruyne with another great ball across the face of goal and it comes off David Silva and goes wide.

  8. 'Sterling was enraged'

    Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City

    Chris Sutton
    Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Sterling was enraged by that challenge by Mustafi, he was straight up onto his feet.

    Mustafi does catch the right boot of Sterling.

    What I would say is, if that was outside the box, a free-kick would be given.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City

    OFF: Gundogan, Mahrez

    IN: Foden, Rodri

  10. Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City

    Well VAR say play on!

    From the corner there's another great chance! The ball hits Raheem Sterling in the nexk and pops into the keeper's hands.

  11. VAR

    Video Assistant Referee

    Does the defender get Sterling before the ball?

  12. PENALTY APPEAL

    Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City

    Shkodran Mustafi goes to ground as he closes in on Raheem Sterling - the referee gives a corner but the VAR will have a look at this.

    It's a clumsy challenge...

  13. 'City not working Martinez enough'

    Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City

    Chris Sutton
    Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    An hour into the game and Martinez still hasn't had anything of note to do. Manchester City just haven't worked him enough.

    You can't rule out Arsenal breaking free either. They do have that threat. That is keeping this game intriguing.

  14. Sterling effort

    Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City

    Big chance for Manchester City to equalise as Sterling puts the ball wide

    You'd back him to score there wouldn't you?

  15. CLOSE!

    Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City

    Eeeeshhhh that's close! I tell you what though, Emi Martinez had that covered.

    Superb free-kick from Kevin de Bruyne, the old knuckleball as they call it, up and over the wall in a flash, topspin central and it ripples the side-netting on the way through.

  16. Rate the players

    Arsenal v Man CityBBC Sport

    I've just seen an angry tweet saying Chris Sutton doesn't have the right to rate Kevin de Bruyne's performance - but you all do! Apparently.

    Rate the players by heading over here.

  18. Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City

    Sometimes the FA Cup semi-final is reduced to Sunday League stuff, and that's fine. Kevin de Bruyne's corner causes an almighty stramash in the six-yard box, with several swings and misses coming in, a few half-hearted shouts for handball and an eventual panicked boot out of play.

  19. 'Can Arsenal maintain intensity?'

    Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City

    Chris Sutton
    Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Granit Xhaka and Dani Ceballos have put in a tonne of work in that Arsenal midfield.

    The concern for Mikel Arteta is whether they can keep up that intensity in this game.

    I think it is a different Manchester City so far in this second half.

  20. Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City

    Whatever Pep did or said at half-time it's worked. Much more on it now, though they do still trail, of course.
