Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta insists he is “really pleased” his side secured a spot in the semi-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday.

Goals from Nicolas Pepe and Dani Ceballos helped the Gunners seal a 2-1 win over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane as the north London club booked a trip to Wembley in July.

It looked like the Match against Chris Wilder’s side was heading into extra-time when David McGoldrick’s close-range strike cancelled out Pepe's first-half penalty in the 87th minute, but Arsenal wrapped up the win during injury time with a cool finish from Dani Ceballos.

Speaking to BBC Sport after the victory against the Blades, Arteta said: "I am really pleased. This is a difficult place to come and get a win. We are back at Wembley. I am really happy with the attitude and performance of the players.
