Ian Wright put Arsenal ahead after 21 minutes when he headed home Andy Linighan’s flick-on. But David Hirst (pictured) equalised just after the half hour from a John Harkes knockdown. Neither side could find a breakthrough in the remaining minutes, sending the game to a replay five days later, in which Arsenal triumphed 2-1.
