MANCHESTER UNITED HUMBLE ARSENAL

Arsenal who are the leaders of Barclays Premier League were humbled 4-0 by the chasers and champions Manchester United in their fifth round clash of the FA cup.The Gunners fell behind 3-0 in the half time.The Pandora box was opened by Wayne Rooney who headed in from close range and similarly Darren Fletcher headed off Gallas from the corner kick.Nani split through the Arsenal defense.Things went bad to worse for Arsenal when Emmanuel Eboue was sent off for a kick on Evra.Fletcher headed in a fourth in the 74th minute as United cruised through the second half, and Arsenal had no answer as they meekly bowed out of the competition.This is a humiliation for wenger and Arsenal.
