Peep peep! Arsenal are into the semi-finals of the FA Cup after a hard-fought victory at Bramall Lane. Dani Ceballos scored a dramatic injury-time goal at a time when Sheffield United looked the likelier winners, and Mikel Arteta’s side will join Manchester United in the last four.

90+3 min An Arsenal change: Sokratis replaces Pepe.

Sheffield United have been mugged. Arsenal broke threee on three before Pepe was well tackled by Stevens in the area. Ceballos picked up the loose ball, danced past Stevens and slid the ball under Henderson from a tight angle. That wasn’t great keeping from Henderson, who left a pretty big gap at the near post.

And now it looks like Arsenal have won it!

90 min United are pushing for a winner now. After a corner is half cleared, Billy Sharp’s low shot is saved excellently at the near post by Martinez.

Robinson hurled the ball into the box from the left. Kolasinac hoofed it straight at Mustafi, a laughable piece of defending, and the ball rebounded perfectly for McGoldrick to volley in from four yards.

Sheffield United equalise from a long throw!

72 min United have some good attacking options on the bench, including Lys Mousset, Billy Sharp and Richairo Zivkovic. Now might be the time to introduce them.

Half-time reading

Peep peep! Arsenal deservedly lead a muted Sheffield United thanks to Nicolas Pepe’s penalty. It wasn’t a great half of football, with a lack of quality and intensity from United in particular. See you in 15 minutes for the second half.

45+4 min Tierney is down after a clash of heads with Baldock. I think he’s fine.

45+2 min Pepe’s free-kick from the left hits the unsighted David Luiz on the shoulder and flies well wide.

45+1 min “Hi,” says Berth Sundin. “Any news as to why Özil does not play today?”

He’s fit but didn’t travel with the squad. I assume he’ll leave the club at the end of the season. Don’t be surprised if he moves to Spurs.

45 min Seven minutes of added time. Ambassador...

45 min: Good chance for Pepe! That could have been 2-0. Arsenal moved the ball smoothly from back to front before Willock found Tierney in space on the left. He cut the ball back towards the edge of the area, where Pepe ran round the ball and curled a low shot just wide. He should have done better.

44 min A decent effort from Norwood, whose swept shot from 20 yards is well held by the falling Martinez.

44 min We’re all friends here, so let us speak frankly. This hasn’t been a great half of football.

43 min Maitland-Niles’ fiercely driven cross is pushed up in the air by Henderson. It drops to Saka, who misses his kick, and then Tierney’s 25-yard shot drifts wide.

42 min David Luizwatch: he’s been fine.

40 min In fact the referee didn’t give Sheffield United a free-kick, he just stopped play because of the collision.
