Arsenal striker Nketiah pleased with FA Cup double for Oxford win

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah was happy with his double in their FA Cup win at Oxford United.

Nketiah struck twice in the 3-0 win on Monday night.

He later said, "We knew it would not be easy. It is a tough ground, good crowd and a tough pitch to play on. We had to stay patient, we had to up the level as it wasn't good enough from us in the first half and I think we did that in the second.

"It was nice. I took the first one nice and the second was a nice little dink so I will probably enjoy that more.

"Every player wants to play whatever the competition. I am grateful for the opportunities and I just want to keep working and keep helping the team."

On facing Man City next in the FA Cup, the striker added: "We are up for it. We will recover, focus on Tottenham first and after that look to the next games."
