FA Cup ~ Liverpool 1-3 Arsenal and Juve over Milan

Liverpool 1-3 Arsenal
By Mandeep Sanghera from BBC.co.uk

Arsenal produced three stylish goals as they dumped FA Cup holders Liverpool out of the competition with a stubborn and resilient third round performance.

Tomas Rosicky curled a sublime strike and squeezed in a shot from the edge of the box to put the visitors 2-0 ahead.

Liverpool hit back when Dirk Kuyt glanced in from point-blank range.

But Thierry Henry ended hopes of a Reds comeback when he robbed Jamie Carragher and slotted home to book Arsenal's place in Monday's fourth round draw.


Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez:

"It is a bad day for us. It was a difficult game but we were doing well and controlling the match in the first half but conceded two goals.
"It could have been a penalty but for me it is rather the game as a whole.
"We made mistakes and when you play against a good team they punish you. Now we have to think about the next game and keep going."

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger:

"I felt we have shown character and good discipline. We were organised under pressure.
"We had two or three good chances on the break and scored one - then it was all over.
"They have an unbelievable crowd and the team gave everything. It takes a good team to beat them and we were that team."

West Ham Sign Fulham's Boa Morte

Boa Morte Has Been Linked With A Move From Fulham For Some TimeWest Ham have signed Fulham captain Luis Boa Morte for an undisclosed fee, thought to be about £5m.

The 29-year-old Portugal striker had been linked with Newcastle and Benfica, but has become Alan Curbishley's first signing since arriving at West Ham.

Boa Morte said he was not worried by the club's lowly position.

He said: "That did not put me off. "I'm confident West Ham can have a good second half to the season and we can pull ourselves out of trouble."
