Arsenal are piling on the pressure in the second half and eventually it tells as Laurent Koscielny equalises in the 72nd minute. Bacary Sagna wins a header from a corner and the ball ricochets off Olivier Giroud to Koscielny, who's standing three yards out. He swivels and shoots into the net before being clobbered by the keeper Photograph: Nick Potts/PA

With eleven minutes to go Kieren Gibbs has a cast iron chance to put Arsenal in the lead when the ball falls to him seven yards out. However he loses his head and blasts the ball over the ball. Cue collective heads in hands Photograph: Eddie Keogh/Reuters

Midway through the second period of extra time Aaron Ramsey gives Arsenal the lead with a lovely goal. Ramsey stabbed into the net from 14 yards after Giroud backheeled the ball into his path Photograph: Steve Bardens/The FA via Getty Images
