 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alexis Sanchez and Calum Chambers either side of Sam Vokes’ header was enough to put Arsene Wenger’s men back on course.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It wasn’t simple at the Emirates but Wenger’s side seem to have that cup steel about them these days and are enroute to win it a third time in a row.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here they made nine changes, with the tricky tie on Tuesday against Southampton in mind, but that included the return of Francis Coquelin and Sanchez.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both were important alongside a nervy, at times, times looking backline and their back up keeper.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Arsenal, as always, dominated with their subtle passing and neat footwork but they nearly had a wake-up call early on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Andre Gray had a decent chance in the 11th minute after he beat Laurent Koscielny to a ball over over the top. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He drove into the box but side-footed his shot softly towards David Ospina who parried it away.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chambers opened the scoring with a beautiful curling effort with the outside of his right boot from the edge of the penalty area.</div><script async src="//

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It sailed beyond England’s third choice keeper Tom Heaton into the corner of the net in the 19th minute after a typical Arsenal edge-of-the-box move tied together with subtle passes and flicks. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vokes levelled it up juts after half an hour, towering above Gabriel and Chambers to power beyond Ospina after a whipped cross from Tendayi Dawrikwa from the right hand side.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sanchez, on his first start since injury, put Arsenal back ahead after a breakaway from the Gunners eight minutes into the second half as Oxlade-Chamberlain crossed into the box.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Theo Walcott missed a late one-on-one after being slid through by Oxlade-Chamberlain but in the end it didn't matter.</div>
