Arsenal teenager Bukayo Saka scored one goal and set up another as the Londoners sealed a place in the FA Cup fifth round with a 2-1 win over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Monday.
Left-back Saka and striker Eddie Nketiah netted inside 26 minutes as Arsenal's much-changed lineup made a dominant start and fought off a late Bournemouth rally to secure a tie against third-tier Portsmouth back on the south coast.
Saka, 18, blasted the ball into the roof of the net from a tight angle after five minutes before his low cross provided a tap-in for Nketiah, who was recalled this month from a loan spell at second-tier Leeds United.
Bournemouth's Sam Surridge scored in the fourth minute of added time to set up a nervous finale for Mikel Arteta's side but the hosts could not find an equalizer and are left to focus on the battle for Premier League survival.
Arsenal's first-half performance was eye-catching, with 22 passes leading up to Saka's fine opening goal.
"Mikel is trying to bring back the philosophy of the Arsenal way. We did that well in the first half, not so much in the second half," Saka told BT Sport.
Bournemouth's last-gasp goal them some hope, Simon Francis' low cross eluding everybody and allowing Surridge, 21, to score his first goal for the club after a loan spell at Swansea City.
"We're very disappointed. We gave it a good go in the end," said Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe.
"It was just a poor start. Tough first half hour and we struggled to deal with their movement. We weren't ourselves. But for the last 60 minutes we scrapped and almost got something in the end."

Liverpool are on a collision course with Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round, while holders Manchester City will travel to Sheffield Wednesday following the draw on Monday.
There is also the potential of a reunion for Wayne Rooney with Manchester United as the former England striker's new club Derby County will host the Red Devils if they get through their fourth-round replay against Northampton Town.
Liverpool, who have been fielding a second-string side in the competition, also have a replay with Shrewsbury Town at Anfield with the winners visiting Frank Lampard's Chelsea.
There will definitely be an all-Premier League tie as either Southampton or Tottenham Hotspur host Norwich City, while Leicester City will meet Coventry City or Birmingham City in another Midlands derby.
Holders Manchester City travel to Championship outfit Sheffield Wednesday, and Sheffield United will also face second- tier opposition in the form of Reading or Cardiff City.
Record 13-times FA Cup winners Arsenal, who won 2-1 at Bournemouth later on Monday, will visit third-tier Portsmouth.
The ties will be played in the week commencing March 3.
