Bolton 1-3 Arsenal
(aet)
Freddie Ljungberg and Emmanuel Adebayor struck in extra time to
give Arsenal an FA Cup fifth round tie with Blackburn - despite
missing two penalties.
Bolton boss Sam Allardyce:
"We are just disappointed that we did not pull off a miraculous
victory. "We weren't over-awed and always had the ability to hang
in there, even though it was difficult at times. "It was a great
effort and commitment from the players and they were brilliant
right through to extra time."
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger:
"I think it was a fantastic cup tie and a fantastic performance
from my team and we were outstanding. "It was frustrating to go to
extra time, but it's a good mental test. "You concede with one
minute to go and it's a good challenge for such young players to
see how they respond - and we found resources to win it."
