Arsenal's youngsters produced another outstanding display to brush aside Wigan and book their place in the Carling Cup quarter-finals.

A pinpoint pass from Jack Wilshere set up fellow teenager Jay Simpson to poke home on his first start for the club.

They added a second when a blistering counter-attack ended with Carlos Vela squaring for Simpson to sidefoot home.

Vela outpaced Titus Bramble before chipping Chris Kirkland with a stunning lob to complete the scoring.
