"Calafiori was restored to the line-up for the fourth-round tie, having been left on the bench for Thursday's 1-1 draw with Brentford. But the Premier League leaders suffered a setback as Calafiori had to withdraw from the team due to the injury, with Arsenal turning to winger Bukayo Saka to fill the void. Myles Lewis-Skelly, who was initially picked as part of the midfield three, dropped back to left-back."
"Noni Madueke opened the scoring in the 11th, slotting confidently into the bottom-left corner after latching onto Eberechi Eze's superb throughball. Gabriel Martinelli doubled the Arsenal lead seven minutes later, racing onto another well-weighted Eze pass and firing across Wigan goalkeeper Sam Tickle. Things got worse for the Latics when Jack Hunt put through his own net to make it 3-0,"
Riccardo Calafiori withdrew from Arsenal's starting XI for the FA Cup fourth-round tie with Wigan after an injury in the warm-up. Bukayo Saka replaced him and Myles Lewis-Skelly shifted from midfield into left-back. Arsenal dominated the match, leading 4-0 by half-time. Noni Madueke opened in the 11th, Gabriel Martinelli scored seven minutes later, Jack Hunt put through an own goal to make it 3-0, and Gabriel Jesus added a fourth with a lofted finish behind Wigan's high line. Martinelli reached ten goals across European and domestic cup competitions, the first Arsenal player to do so since Ian Wright in 1994-95. Six of his goals have come in the Champions League.
