Soon after, Nicolas Pepe made it 2-0 in favour of the hosts. The attacker scored from close range after Rob Holding's header was palmed into his path by the goalkeeper.
Nathan Broadhead's goal for Sunderland gave Arsenal the illusion that they were in complete command of the situation after that. Broadhead took advantage of a perfectly weighted pass from Elliot Embleton and tapped it over Bernd Leno with ease.
Following that, Nketiah was deft enough to convert a low Nuno Tavares cross into a goal for the home team. The 22-year-old, on the other hand, delivered his greatest work at the conclusion. He dribbled Pepe's pass between his legs and past goalkeeper Lee Burge to score the winning goal.

In the final minute of the game at Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's 18-year-old debutant Charlie Patino scored his first goal for the club, giving the Gunners a 5-2 victory.
Sunderland put forth a valiant effort, but despite the fact that Embleton struck the post from long range, the visitors were unable to keep up with their Premier League hosts, who won handily.
The draw will take place on Wednesday, following the conclusion of Tottenham's and West Ham's games. When the draw is completed, Arsenal will find out who they will face in the last four of the competition.
