AFP, BOURNEMOUTH, EnglandMikel Arteta hailed Arsenal’s “hungry” youngsters after Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah on Monday fired their side into the FA Cup fifth round with a 2-1 win against AFC Bournemouth. Arteta turned to youth at Dean Court, and Saka, Nketiah and Joe Willock repaid the Arsenal manager’s faith with influential displays that secured a trip to third-tier Portsmouth. Saka gave Arsenal an early lead as the 18-year-old fullback bagged his third goal of the season with a superb strike. Martinelli had scored in Arsenal’s past two Premier League games to reach 10 goals for the season. Unable to contain Willock and Saka, Bournemouth were carved open as the midfielder’s pass found the defender in acres of space on the left.
