Ainsley Maitland-Niles: Arsenal players excited to be going to Wembley

Arsenal midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles says the players are buzzing to be going to Wembley for the FA Cup semifinals.

Arsenal scored a late winner to beat Sheffield United 2-1 and set up a semi against holders Manchester City at Wembley.

"It's an amazing feeling," said Maitland-Niles, 22.

"Every club wants to go to Wembley and play. For us to do it yesterday today, away, and we haven't had the best of results away recently... it's good to pick up that win.

"We just want the fans to keep supporting us, stick with us. We're a team in progress, just like a lot of other teams, and we're trying to win as many games as we can to please the fans."
