Manchester City avoided major FA Cup embarrassment after coming from behind to beat Cheltenham Town 3-1 at The Jonny-Rocks Stadium.

After City missed some presentable chances, the hosts took a shock lead when Alfie May showed great predatory instincts to poke home from close range.

But with time running out, the visitors were saved by academy product Phil Foden who ghosted in to volley João Cancelo’s deep cross.

You could feel that sap the energy from Cheltenham as Gabriel Jesus finished smartly to put City ahead just minutes later.

Southampton 1-0 Arsenal

Scorers: Gabriel (og) 24′

Arsenal have fallen at the second hurdle of their FA Cup defence after losing 1-0 to Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium.

After starting brightly, the Saints went ahead after Gabriel Magalhães diverted Kyle Walker-Peters’ cross past Bernd Leno into his own net.

Gabriel Martinelli had an excellent chance to equalise for Arsenal but mis-kicked his volley after being put through by Nicolas Pépé.

Southampton were comfortable defending from that point forward and secured victory with the sluggish visitors unable to create anything.
