Despite Mikel Arteta's team being the current Premier League leaders, City was able to advance to the fifth round with a goal from Nathan Ake in the second half.
Six changes were made by the Arsenal manager from the 3-2 victory against Manchester United on Sunday. Thomas Partey was one among the players that held their spot, although he was substituted out for Lokonga at halftime due to an injury.
After the interval, City began to take control, and the breakthrough came after a period of persistent pressure. Takehiro Tomiyasu and Bukayo Saka were dragged wide by Jack Grealish, giving Ake room to attack.
The game ended shortly after, and Lokonga was on his way to the changing rooms.
