Everton's Wembley dream snuffed out by Arsenal Arsenal 4- 1 Everton

Everton's FA Cup dream was extinguished in clinical fashion by Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium as Arsene Wenger's side broke a tight game open in the final half-hour. Romelu Lukaku had brought the Blues back into the tie after Mezut Ozil had scored with an early goal, but a clumsy trip by Gareth Barry gave Mikel Arteta the chance to restore the Gunners' lead from the spot with a re-taken penalty. With Everton chasing the game, Oliver Giroud scored twice for the home side in two minutes to kill the game off and deny Roberto Martinez a return trip to Wembley.
