Arsenal showed there were no cobwebs remaining after their UEFA Europa League exit against Olympiacos, and the Premier League side skipped past third-tier Portsmouth.

Pompey came into the tie in tremendous form during their League One exploits, but the step up in class was too much for the third-place side, despite their passionate home support.

Mikel Arteta made nine changes as he heavily rotated his starters, with only David Luiz and Bukayo Saka remaining from Thursday's Europa selection.

Flamengo loan signing Pablo Mari was handed his debut at the heart of the Gunners defence, and it developed into a relatively quiet night for Arsenal's back line.

Pompey started well, with Ellis Harrison going close, but it was the away side who took control of the encounter.

Arteta's team dominated possession and were rewarded in stoppage time at the end of the first half. Sokratis' excellent finish beat Alex Bass to make it 1-0.

The goal was the confidence boost Arsenal desired, and they made the second half a comfortable experience.

Eddie Nketiah doubled the lead just six minutes after the restart. Portsmouth had no response to the scoreline as the match unfolded.

Arsenal become the first team into the last eight, with the competition their last chance of silverware this season.
