Arsenal reached their first FA Youth Cup final for eight years after scoring four times in just over half an hour against Manchester City on Wednesday night to win 6-2 on aggregate.
Steve Bould's side, roared on by a healthy Emirates crowd of nearly 10,000, added to their 2-1 first leg lead after just 33 seconds of the first whistle when Sanchez Watt slotted home.
Jack Wilshere added a second from the penalty spot after City keeper Joe Clegg felled Watt and Manchester-born Kyle Bartley quickly made it 3-0. Watt added his second just two minutes later as Arsenal threatend a cricket score, before City hit a consolation on the stroke of half time through Ahmad Benali. The Gunners cruised through the second half to win 4-1 on the night. They play the winners of tonight's (Friday) semi-final between Liverpool and Birmingham at Anfield. Liverpool lead 3-0 from the first leg.
