There were no problems for Aston Villa and Arsenal as they both progressed to the quarter finals

“You have to feel for Nathan Butler-Oyedeji,” writes Kieran McKintosh. “He’s 22, still not had a proper first-team appearance, not even scored on loan at Cheltenham or Accrington, and even in a game like this where it basically doesn’t matter who Arteta plays, a defender who is leaving at the end of the season gets a start up top before he does. Ouch.”

I have a feeling the young lad’s long-term future is not at Arsenal.
