Arsenal staggeringly crashed out of the FA Cup Sunday after slumping to a 3-1 loss to Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium. Ricardo Fuller was instrumental in helping the home side to the emphatic victory, scoring either side of the interval. He opened the scoring only a couple of minutes past the kickoff after connecting with a huge Rory Delap throw-in. The Gunners were back on level terms after Denilson hit an equalizer with a deflected effort. Fuller fired Stoke upfront again 12 minutes from time after heading home a Mamady Sidibe cross. Dean Whitehead completed the rout eight minutes later when he diverted Etherington's low cross into the net. The match saw Sol Campbell make his first Arsenal appearance after his return to Emirates Stadium this winter. The Potters' first victory over Arsenal in the FA Cup is the second surprise in the competition this season. Early this month, Manchester United were ousted after being condemned to 1-0 loss to Leeds United at Old Trafford.
