Premier League giants Arsenal are through to the fourth round of the FA Cup
after a hard-fought 3-1 replay win at Championship side Leeds United.

Arsenal started strongly and took the lead with a superbly worked goal in
just the fifth minute.

Samir Nasri opened the scoring at Elland Road in Leeds after five minutes
and Bacary Sagna made it 2-0 half an hour later with a right-foot shot from
about 15 meters (18 yards).

Two minutes later, Bradley Johnson got a goal for Leeds with a shot from
about 22 meters into the top corner of the net. Robin van Persie then scored
for the Gunners, who are third in the elite Premier League, with a headed goal
14 minutes from the end of the game.

The match had to be replayed at Leeds, which is fourth in the
second-division Championship, after the teams played a 1-1 draw at Arsenal on
Jan. 8.

Arsenal, which hasn’t won a trophy since collecting the F.A. Cup in 2005, is
scheduled to host Huddersfield, which is second in League One, at noon London
time on Jan. 30.
