1 - 0
87’ [1 - 0] Benni McCarthy
In the first half, the "Arsenal" players were more active and dominant. The Gunners caused a huge uproar when Jeremie Aliadiere and then Freddie Ljungberg fell in the penalty area, and Julio Baptista's header hit just above the crossbar.
In the 60th minute, "Blackburn" had the best chance, but Norwegian Morten Gamst Pedersen missed a great opportunity from a good position.
In the 84th minute, J.Baptista found himself in a comfortable position to head the ball, but it went straight into Brad Friedel's hands.
In the 87th minute, the hosts took possession of the ball and launched a quick counterattack. Substitute Benni McCarthy, appearing on the left side, easily deceived Philippe Senderos and broke into the penalty area, sending the ball into the far top corner with a great shot.
Having stumbled in the league cup final on Sunday, "Arsenal" was forced to leave the FA Cup tournament as well.

"Middlesbrough" - "Man Utd"
"Blackburn" - "Man City"
"Chelsea" - "Tottenham"
"Plymouth" - "Watford"
