Arsenal's Martinez buoyed by impending Wembley trip

Arsenal goalkeeper Damian Martinez was over the moon after seeing his side progress to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

The Gunners defeated Manchester United 2-1 at Old Trafford on Monday night in a dramatic contest between two fierce rivals.

Nacho Monreal opened the scoring in the 25th minute, four minutes before Wayne Rooney replied for the Red Devils, prior to Danny Welbeck's winner just after the hour-mark and the result was certainly not lost on Argentine keeper Martinez who was on the bench for the north Londoners.

Reigning FA Cup winners Arsenal will now await the winner of the Reading v Bradford City replay which takes place at the Madejski Stadium on March 16.
