FA Cup on Betfair: Arsenal, Bradford and Villa march into the last eight

Olivier Giroud scored twice in three minutes to fire Arsenal past the Boro

It was an entertaining day in the FA Cup with Bradford pulling off another major upset, Aston Villa - gasp! - scoring two goals and the champions all making their way into the last eight

Arsenal are 3.211/5 to retain their FA Cup crown after dismissing Middlesbrough in professional fashion at The Emirates today. 

A brace for Oliver Giroud helped the Gunners to a 2-0 win and ensured they joined Aston Villa and Bradford in the last-eight after entertaining wins for that pair earlier in the day. 

Whoever backed Arsenal at a high of 12.011/1 will be pleased with themselves but imagine if you'd got Bradford at 1000.0n/a! The League One outfit have strong cup credentials, having reached the 2013 League Cup final and knocking out Chelsea in this competition last time out, and they were at it again with a defeat of Premier League Sunderland today. 

And early own goal from John O'Shea set the home side on their way and Jon Stead struck another cup goal to ensure they reached the quarter-finals. Bradford are now 50.049/1 to win the cup. 

There was a low attendance at Villa Park in the early kick-off, but there was more entertainment than we have become accustomed to this season from the Midlands side. Watched by new manager Tim Sherwood, Villa scored two goals in a game for just the fourth time this season.

After a goalless first half, 22.021/1 First Scorer bet Dutch winger Leandro Bacuna put his team ahead and a second for Scott Sinclair on 89 minutes seemingly put the game to bed. A quick consolation from Andrej Kramaric gave the Foxes a sniff but they couldn't make a chance. The late goal rush saw Over 2.5 Goals backed at a high of 48.047/1.
