Arsenal has eased into the fifth round of the FA Cup following their 4-0 victory over League One side Coventry City at home in Emirates Stadium on Friday.

Arsenal, which has not won a trophy since 2005, remain in the hunt in three tournaments this season - the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup, and lead the league table by one point from free-scoring Manchester City.

According to the BBC, striker Lukas Podolski rounded keeper Joe Murphy to fire home in the 15th minute and added a close-range header from Per Mertesacker's flick-on 12 minutes later.

Although Coventry rallied in the second half, but Olivier Giroud ended any doubt with a third from 12 yards out and Santi Cazorla got a late fourth from a similar range, the report added.
