Arsenal dumped out of FA Cup by Stoke

Published Sun, Jan 24 10 09:59 PM

Arsenal joined Manchester United and Liverpool on the FA Cup scrapheap on Sunday when Ricardo Fuller's double helped Stoke City to a 3-1 fourth round victory at the Britannia Stadium.

Fuller's opening goal in the second minute was trademark Stoke, the striker getting on the end of Rory Delap's huge throw-in.

Arsenal, who included the returning Sol Campbell, equalised shortly before halftime with a deflected strike from Denilson but Fuller restored Stoke's lead with 13 minutes remaining, wrong-footing Lucasz Fabianski with a close-range header after a superb run and cross by Mamady Sidibe.

Dean Whitehead made sure of Stoke's first FA Cup victory against Arsenal from Matthew Etherington's low cross.

Fourth round action concludes later on Sunday with Manchester City in action at Scunthorpe United.
