    Time:90'
    • Arsenal
    • West Bromwich Albion
    • - It's all over and Arsenal progress into the fourth round of the Carling Cup with a 2-0 win!
    • 90' Wilshere wriggles into the area and stes up Gilbert who has the shot and that's a corner. Wilshere takes and it flashes across goal for a goal kick.
    • 88' This one is peetering out into an easy win for Arsenal in the end as the hosts come forward again.
    • 85' Arsenal fans coming out with the 'OLE' chants as the 11 men pass it around the tiring 10-man opponents.
    • 83' Wood goes through for WBA, but he's forced wide and he can't find anything like a finish and Arsenal come forward again.
    • 82' Wilshere goes down the right and has a shot, but that's easy enough for Kiely.
    • 80' Meite comes on for Olsson for WBA.
    • 80' CHANCE!!! Wood for WBA has missed a great chance! Teixeria plays him in and the young striker is about eight yards out, but he can't finish!
    • - Luke Moore is the man to go off for Wood for WBA.
    • - Barnett was having a decent game for WBA, but when Randall's 30-yard lob beats Kiely and comes back off the bar he tries to chest it back to the keeper only for Vela to pounce.
    • 76' GOAL!! And a lob from Randall hits the bar. Vela is the quickest to react and taps it in, but what is Barnett doing trying to chest it back to Kiely. So easy for Vela!!
    • 73' Traore is off for Arsenal and Barazite is on and Wood is about to come on for WBA.
    • 72' Shot comes in from Wilshere, who goes to ground - not for the first time this evening. Nothing given by the referee.
    • 72' Barnett penalised there for a foul on Vela, who has made an impact since his arrival.
    • 71' Dorrans brings it clear for WBA from the corner and Albion look to make another change.
    • 70' Vela and Wilshere combine again and that's an Arsenal corner. The fans are in full voice now.
    • 68' GOAL!! Sanchez Watt with the opener! Ramsey into Vela, whose shot is stopped by Kiely but it falls for Watt and he taps it in!!
    • 67' Mulumbu comes forward for WBA. Great run there and in the end it took several to get the ball off the sub.
    • 66' Dorrans tries to play it through to Moore, but only gives it to Senderos. He wins it back though to make amends. The home crowd getting slightly restless at the moment.
    • 64' Traore and Vela get Arsenal moving again, but Barnett, who is having a good game for WBA, makes the tackle once more.
    • 63' Wilshere beats another two or three and goes down, but no foul says the referee.
    • 61' Sunu and Coquelin are the men to come off for Arsenal, as Mulumbu comes on for Cox for WBA.
    • 58' Barnett challenges Vela with a good tackle and Dorrans sets up Cox quickly, who shoots and Szczesny saves!
    • 57' Several changes here as Vela and Randall come on for Arsenal.
    • 56' CHANCE! For Albion... Zuiverloon with the cross and Cox misses the header!
    • 56' Ramsey goes into the book for a foul and Albion look to make a change with Mulumbu waiting to come on.
    • 55' Free kick to Arsenal in a good position. Wilshere takes from the left and Dorrans gets it clear. Free kick to Albion in the end.
    • 53' Wilshere to Watt, but his ball to Gilbert is intercepted by Teixeira and it goes back to Kiely. Arsenal yet to take advantage of the 11 against 10.
    • 52' Albion come forward with Cox, to Jara then to Tiexeira, but Cox doesn't get the return and Gilbert brings it clear.
    • 51' Moore chases a long ball as Szczesny decides against coming out. Moore tries to cross for Cox, but Arsenal get it clear.
    • 50' Zuiverloon and Traore having a good battle down the Arsenal left and Silvestre tries to get things going for Arsenal. Quiet start to the second half so far.
    • 47' Barnett makes a good challenge on Watt, but then loses the ball with the pass.
    • 46' No subs for 10 man Albion at half time and we're back underway at the Emirates!

    • - Barnett gets an important touch to stop the ball finding Watt from Traore's ball.
    • 45' Wilshere wins a free kick and Ramsey takes and that is miles over the bar!
    • 43' Dorrans whips a free kick into the area, but it's cleared and Arsenal have it. Wilshere loses it and then Cox gets caught offside for Albion.
    • 40' Watt goes through for Arsenal and three Albion players descend on him. Zuiverloon and Kiely do enough though for WBA.
    • 40' In the middle of all that Cox was booked for dissent.
    • - Thomas gone and West Brom down to 10 men, but Koren is OK to continue. It will be tough for Albion now though.
    • 38' RED CARD!! Drama here and it's Jerome Thomas and Wilshere involved. Thomas looks to have given Wilshere a little slap and that's enough for the WBA man to go!
    • 35' CHANCE! Thomas bursts into the area and makes Szczesny make the save!
    • 34' Koren goes down and he looks to be injured.
    • 32' Dorrans' cross finds Barnett, who heads the ball out of Szczesny's hands and Luke Moore is there and that's just wide!
    • 31' Senderos fouls Cox and that's a yellow card for a cynical block by the Swiss defender.
    • 30' Wilshere has a shot from distance and it goes wide of Kiely's goal.
    • 30' Jara to Teixeria and Coquelin puts in a fine challenge to stop Luke Moore from getting in behind the defence.
    • 29' Traore keeps the ball in well, but Zuiverloon robs him and sets up Thomas. Gibbs wins it back for Arsenal.
    • 28' Traore has a chance to get the ball into the box for Arsenal, but he hits the defender and it breaks for Albion.
    • 26' Thomas trying to set up Cox there, but he gets the pass wrong.

    • 22' Wilshere running it in the middle of the park and he sets up Sunu and in the end Barnett gets Watt's cross clear.
    • 20' Wilshere goes past about three or four in the middle of the park there. Great play from the youngster.
    • 19' CHANCE AGAIN! Cox involved again with Olsson and Albion almost bundle it over the line, but it's hacked away!

    • 15' CHANCE! Teixeira feeds Robert Koren after good work from Dorrans and Koren has the shot, which goes just wide!
    • 14' Koren tries to feed Dorrans and Arsenal's Polish keeper Szczesny makes the stop.
    • 13' The corner comes in from Wilshere and Albion's veteran keeper Dean Kiely comes out to make the claim.
    • 12' Jara robs Sunu and gives it back to Kiely, but soon enough Arsenal have it back with Gilbert, who feeds Wilshere into Watt. Albion stop after Watt goes down and it's a corner.
    • 10' Senderos plays it to Gilbert down the right and Coquelin beats Thomas in midfield for the home side, who are playing with Watt on his own up front.
    • 8' Dorrans takes it, but the keeper punches that one clear and it goes all the way back to Dean Kiely.
    • 7' Jara, making his debut involved there, as Albion attack through Zuiverloon and they get their first corner.
    • 5' Wilshere prominent in the early stages here for Arsenal and it's the home side who are asking all the questions so far at the Emirates.
    • 4' CHANCE! Almost a repeat of the last chance for Senderos! Another free header for the Swiss and he can't find the target once again! Albion all over the place at the back.
    • 4' Chance for Senderos from the corner! Free header for him from about 12 yards out and he's put it over!
    • 3' Watt and Gilbert link up there and Arsenal get their first corner.
    • 2' Early touch for the returning Senderos there for Arsenal, as the Gunners knock it about at the back.
