Manchester: Arsenal's bid to capture a third straight FA Cup title was ended with a 2-1 loss to Watford in the quarterfinals on Sunday, dashing their best chance of winning silverware this season.
Odion Ighalo and Adlene Guedioura — with a rising shot from the edge of the area — scored second-half goals for Watford, which joined Crystal Palace and Everton in an unlikely lineup for the semifinals. Danny Welbeck scored in the 88th for Arsenal.
It was the worst possible start to a make-or-break week in Arsenal's season. Arsenal are 2-0 down heading into the second leg of their Champions League last-16 match against Barcelona on Wednesday, before the team heads to Everton in the Premier League for what could be a must-win game in its fading title challenge.
