 Arsenal edge through as Blackpool's goal proves hard to hit by Rupe

this is story 62 of 201 in this topic to date
Arsenal (1) 3 - 1 (1) Blackpool
Highbury, Monday 13th December 1999
FA Cup 3rd round.

We should have scored a hatful in the first half but Blackpool defended well and kept the tie alive till the dying seconds. The amazing Gilles Grimandi opened the scoring with his 3rd in 3 games, a long-range blast right out of the blue. Their equaliser was just as good, and much more unexpected.

Adams put us ahead again halfway through the second half, but as the 3rd failed to arrive it got more and more nervy, and only when Overmars (finally!) scored in the 90th minute did it become clear that this wasn't going to be one of theose dreadful nights (which the presence of David Lee on the Blackpool wing kept reminding us of).

See reports page for detailed reports and our list of links to those on other sites.

Home to Leicester or Hereford in the next round.
