Arsenal ambush FA Cup holders Manchester City as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scores a goal in each half to secure a 2-0 semi-final victory at an empty Wembley Stadium
With second place in the Premier League secured, City have to focus on the resumption of their Champions League challenge in August, when they defend a 2-1 first leg lead against Real Madrid in the last 16.
Arteta knows City well after his time as Guardiola's assistant and he set out to exploit their weakness against counter attacks, using Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepe to get behind City's attacking full-backs Kyle Walker and Benjamin Mendy.At the climax of an 18-pass move, Pepe's deep cross caught Walker dozing and Aubameyang eluded him to slide a fine finish off the far post from a tight angle.
The Gabon striker's 24th goal of the season was a reminder why Arsenal are so desperate to get him to sign a contract extension.Arteta's rope-a-dope plan brought a rich reward in the 71st minute. Second in the Premier League, City already knows it will be in the Champions League next season after overturning a two-season European ban.
