00:00Gabrielle Thomas-Pate, Kai Havertz and Gabrielle Martinelli
00:0441-1
00:06He's in the shootout which Bolton went on to win
00:08Top marksman and hat-trick scorer from the weekend Dion Charles is amongst the subs
00:13It's what dreams are made of and you know I remember starting at young age myself at Sunderland
00:17I used to relish
00:18And we're off and running
00:21Premier League against League One in terms of league status
00:25Looks like the back five with the three centre midfielders
00:27And then you've got Collins and McAteer top who are going to be trying to be the counter-attack
00:34Everybody back for Bolton here
00:37Such a crowded six-yard box that moves it on to Sterling
00:40A different dynamic tonight
00:41Playing against a team that knows exactly how to try and score
00:44He's going to have the points on the laurels
00:48There's Calafiore, there's Calafiore
00:50Sterling accelerating
00:52No more centrally to try and play that inverted full-back
00:56Here goes Aaron Collins
01:00I'm just going to see who gets the final touch here
01:02It does look like it comes off Collins there
01:04Onto the head of Gabriel Jesus
01:09Santos and Sheehan again down here
01:11Here's the little give-and-go
01:13Sheehan getting on the end of it and we're just going to see who gets the touch
01:17Tell you what, Bolton wonder it looks like Sheehan gets a touch of the ball here first
01:22Armband passed from Santos to Tole in the last couple of games
01:28Nicholls
01:29Oh, Arfield with a swing and a miss
01:31It could be dangerous
01:32It's very dangerous
01:33It's Declan Rice
01:38Just what Arsenal needed
01:40To settle any early nerves
01:43And maybe set them on their way
01:46And it was a ball that could have been cleared
01:49But when it wasn't, it was dispatched
01:55There was a comment came out from Ian Evert before this match
01:59He said we're going to find out the level difference between where we are as players and as managers
02:03And what you're going to find here is when you don't clear your lines
02:06And it falls to an England international, the man of the quality of Declan Rice on the edge of the area
02:11There's only going to be one outcome when you give a player of his quality that much
02:14I think when Ian Evert looks back at the penalty decision that they didn't get
02:17He'll be very, very disappointed
02:20But Arsenal are a superb player
02:22I love watching them
02:29In from Sheehan
02:30Out by Nicholls
02:31In himself
02:34Nicely done
02:35Jinking away from Williams
02:36Gabriel Jesus now
02:37This is worrying for Bolton
02:39Likewise Raheem Sterling
02:42Jesus waits
02:44And very nearly received it
02:45Nearly received it
02:46In fact there he got
02:48You see Sterling
02:49There's nothing worse for defending when you see Sterling just turn and drop the shoulder
02:52And put the afterburners on
02:57Lovely ball to pick out Saka
02:59Jesus on the move
03:01Ball from Eugenio
03:03He just slips it in between the wing back and the left side centre
03:10He is showing what he can do up towards Jesus
03:13Well on the move
03:15In from Sheehan
03:17Seen away by Nicholls
03:19Back in via top
03:20Goalkeeper there
03:21Porter
03:22The youngster
03:23Put it back into a dangerous area
03:25When it falls to McAtee
03:26That's actually his own player
03:29That gets in his way
03:30And he'd be so disappointed
03:31He's always there
03:32Collins
03:33Nice little touch
03:34Dempsey hasn't given up on it
03:35This is Williams trying to spin
03:39Here's the Welshman again
03:40Sheehan through for McAtee
03:41The flag is up
03:43Here's Sterling
03:45Various players galloping on to apply the finish
03:48And when Airey gets there
03:50And gets the second
03:55Arsenal now have control of the tie
03:59And it's one of their young guns
04:02Who gives them that breathing space
04:05Against Bolton Rondres
04:08Very neatly done
04:10Very neatly done
04:11Tidy finish
04:122-0
04:14Well when Airey gets the finish
04:15But just watch this
04:16The movement from Sterling
04:18The ball from Lewis Skelly
04:20The absolutely catch
04:21Bolton Rondres
04:24Sleeping
04:25And then when you've got three attacking players like that
04:27Going at the area against two
04:28Bolton defend
04:31McAtee nicely taken
04:33Runners right and left
04:35But a runner through the middle
04:36The danger is though
04:37That Arsenal come again
04:39With Sterling
04:40Trying to find that bit of room
04:42Room for Rice
04:43Although it wouldn't quite sit for him
04:46Sterling maybe
04:49At the moment there
04:50I thought Declan Rice might have hit that
04:51But once again
04:52With the football intelligence
04:53He knew it wasn't on for him
04:57In comes the corner
04:58Southwood try to get free
05:00Not as far as Rice
05:01Sterling
05:02Helped on to Jesus
05:05Clipped up for Saka
05:08Here's Rice
05:10Thought about pulling the trigger
05:11A couple of times there
05:12Jesus won't take too much
05:13Encouraged
05:14Had it
05:15Lost it
05:16Won it back
05:17Lost it again
05:18But Arsenal have it
05:19With Jesus
05:20Three to look for
05:21But he isn't in good shape
05:25Here's Gabriel Jesus
05:27He's got it
05:28He's got it
05:29He's got it
05:30Here's Gabriel Jesus
05:32He's won the race to the ball
05:34Jesus, watch how he just leans into the defender here
05:36He says, you know what it is
05:37I'm going to use my body
05:38And that's not
05:42Nicholls
05:43Searching for Sterling
05:45Carino takes it on
05:47Weren't too many who came to meet him
05:49Calafiore making his presence felt
05:58And that's a gift
05:59Declan Rice takes it on
06:00Weneri hits it
06:01And through it goes
06:03And quite possibly now
06:05Through go Arsenal
06:09At times they've made it look easy tonight
06:11That was easy for them
06:13And Bolton
06:14Will be so frustrated
06:16That right at the start of the second half
06:18It is quite possibly game over
06:21I said at the start, David
06:22Ian
06:23Ian Evert's team will play out from the back
06:25They'll want to play
06:26Now when you have a look at this
06:27Look at the press from Arsenal
06:30Santos is on the ball there
06:31You cannot give the ball away in here
06:33Because the man that anticipated
06:35Declan Rice has absolutely
06:37Been absolutely dissected
06:42From Collins
06:43A pass from Dell
06:46Arsenal's tails are up here
06:49Saka
06:51Hopefully a change
06:52Pretty soon for Bolton Wanderers
06:53Because what we saw there
06:54I'm looking at
06:56McAteer and Collins
06:57The two players playing
06:58Beautifully done
07:01Almost opened the door for a colleague
07:02Almost for himself
07:03And now the door is wide open
07:05For Bolton Wanderers
07:06And for Aaron Collins
07:08To gallop through
07:09And to finish beautifully
07:12A goal
07:13Out of nowhere
07:15For Bolton Wanderers
07:18Defending one minute
07:19Scoring the next
07:22Something for their fans to cheer
07:24That's a lovely counter-attack
07:25And goal from Bolton
07:27And Collins there
07:28Shown
07:29It's two big moments here
07:30This has come from Arsenal's corner
07:36That's a lovely counter-attack
07:37He's backpedalling
07:38Because he went to McAteer first
07:40There's the look from Collins
07:42He's given the little fake
07:44Misty Dunn
07:45Towards Sterling
07:47And here he moves it on
07:48Saka
07:49Wanderers
07:50And here he moves it on
07:52Saka
07:53Looking for room
07:54There isn't much
07:55He might have just gone for it
07:57But he had other options
07:58And you see there
07:59Saka
08:00There's three different credits
08:01But what it does play with
08:02Mikel Arteta's team
08:04That zippy surface
08:10Moved on by Saka
08:11Jesus
08:13And South
08:15And it is Declan Rice
08:16To be replaced by Guy Havertz
08:18We know what's going on
08:19Obviously
08:21Through from Nicholls
08:24Worked well to Saka
08:28Taking his time
08:29And it's wriggled through
08:32And Raheem Zing
08:33Picks up the pieces
08:36A first goal in Arsenal colours
08:39And he won't get a simpler one
08:43Not if his performance
08:44Is anything to go by tonight
08:45In the Arsenal colours
08:46He deserved a goal
08:47Although first off
08:48He was special
08:49When he was getting the ball
08:51And getting on the ball
08:52He got an assist
08:55But this one here
08:56Is all about Saka
08:58Absolutely sells the dummy there
09:01Waits for the right opportunity
09:02And once again checks
09:04And when it goes into Southwood
09:05There was one man reacted
09:06And that was
09:08Raheem Sterling
09:09He deserved a goal
09:10And another marvellous
09:12Jesus as well
09:13Calafiore too
09:14Tucking in
09:15We know he can hit them
09:17He's gonna try his luck
09:19Ian Evert
09:20In terms of
09:21Substitutions
09:22It looks like Dion Charles
09:23Is one of them
09:24As it flashes away
09:26He'll be so frustrated
09:27With the way that first goal
09:28Panned out
09:30Scott Arfield
09:32Call him
09:33And
09:35Potentially a real problem
09:36For Bolton
09:37As Southwood steps
09:38Into the night
09:39Have it
09:41He floats to Raheem Sterling
09:42Who's just crowded out
09:46Jorginho
09:48Saw the run of Sterling
09:50I mentioned in the first half
09:51Sterling's movement
09:53And how quick he is
09:54To get in behind the defence
09:55Of Walt Wanders
09:56And yet
09:59Jorginho
10:01Helps it on its way in
10:05Nicely done
10:09Sterling
10:11Going through the gears
10:12Finding a way through
10:13The crowd
10:14And it's another
10:15For Arsenal
10:18The Premier League quality
10:19Shining through
10:20For the Gunners
10:22And Kai Havertz
10:24Is there to apply
10:25The telling touch
10:30There's three big moments
10:31In that goal
10:32David
10:33As Brazilians
10:34Have a chance
10:35To get a chance
10:36To get a chance
10:37To get a chance
10:38To get a chance
10:39To get a chance
10:40To get a chance
