London's Arsenal club crushed Wigan 4-0 in the English FA Cup.

After the match, the Gunners' head coach Mikel Arteta commented on the injuries being sustained and praised attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze:

"Yes. Before it was forwards, then defenders, and now midfielders.

We are adapting to that. But we need many healthy and returning players, not just for numbers in various positions, but for them to come back fully fit as soon as possible."

"Players like E. Eze need such moments. Especially when we talk about creative players.

They need to feel that they can effectively turn such moments into productivity.

I am very happy about that. For morale and self-confidence, it is a very good thing."

"We want to see the Englishman's strikes in the final phase of attacks, which were very positive in this match."

Eberechi Eze provided two assists in the match against Wigan.

The midfielder has scored 5 goals in 33 matches this season.
