Arsenal, 14 times winners of the FA Cup and 17 times finalists, are out of this year’s competition! An excellent performance from Brighton, and deservedly rewarded. The second quarter-final between Charlton and Liverpool, is currently goalless in the 28th minute, with Chelsea playing Tottenham and Birmingham City facing Manchester City tomorrow.

Arsenal are pushing for something against Brighton, in the ninth of eight indicated minutes of stoppage time. Russo goes down in the penalty area, but nothing’s given.

Apologies, it appears to have taken about quarter of an hour for news of this goal to filter through to me. A bullet header, I’m told. Hearts are, as it stands, top of the league!
