ARSENAL kept their season alive – but their

FA Cup fifth round win over Pompey was

marred by an injury to Lucas Torreira.

The Gunners, dumped out of the Europa

League by Olympiakos last week, saw off

League One Portsmouth with goals from

Sokratis and Eddie Nketiah. But

midfielder Torreira required oxygen

after being carried off on a stretcher.

Arsenal defender David Luiz said:

“I was pleased with the young boys

tonight, they have a great mentality

and they did great tonight.”
