Wing-back to wing-back: Ox, Monreal push FA Cup semi into extra time

The much-maligned Arsene Wenger probably enjoyed this goal more than most this season, and not just because of the stakes.
Arsenal's equaliser against Manchester City in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final was the result of a beautiful swinging cross from one wing-back, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, to his left-sided counterpart, Nacho Monreal.
Credit also goes to the Spaniard for unleashing a wicked strike.
The two men, played out wide as part of Wenger's shift to a three-man defence, certainly made the gaffer look good here.

The goal cancelled out Sergio Aguero's opener, and sent the contest to extra time.
