[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seong-yeol] Arsenal defeated Bournemouth 2-1 to advance to the Round of 16 in the England FA Cup.

On the 28th (Korean time), Arsenal won 2-1 against Bournemouth in the 2019-20 FA Cup Round of 32 away match held at Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth, UK.

With this victory, Arsenal will face Portsmouth FC, a League Two team, in the FA Cup Round of 16.

Arsenal approached the Round of 16 by scoring two goals in the first half.

In the 4th minute of the first half, Wilock received a pass near Bournemouth's penalty box and passed it to Martinelli, who was charging from the left, and then to Saka. Saka's powerful left-footed shot slipped through the goalkeeper's hands and shook Bournemouth's net.

In the 25th minute of the first half, Nketiah scored with his left foot from the front of the goalkeeper after receiving a low cross from Saka. Although there was suspicion of an offside foul and a video assistant referee (VAR) review was conducted, the goal was confirmed.

In the 3rd minute of added time in the second half, Francis delivered a left-footed cross, which Gosling deflected, and Surridge received it. After competing with a defender, he successfully scored with his right foot.
