Arsenal 3-0 Newcastle United

Arsenal 3

Newcastle 0

Emmanuel Adebayor's brace helped secure Arsenal's passage to the FA Cup fifth round at the expense of Newcastle.

Kevin Keegan's side regularly worried the Gunners early on, with Gael Clichy heading Alan Smith's shot off the line. But Arsenal dominated after the break and took the lead when Adebayor thrashed home a sumptuous strike.

The Togolese sealed the win with a superb run and composed finish, before Nicky Butt headed a Cesc Fabregas free-kick into his own net.

Arsenal: Lehmann, Justin Hoyte, Senderos, Gallas, Clichy, Diaby (Silva 76), Flamini, Fabregas, Rosicky (Eduardo 9), Walcott (Hleb 76), Adebayor. Subs Not Used: Fabianski, Bendtner.
