The Football Association will launch an investigation into suspicious betting patterns surrounding Arsenal's FA Cup win at Oxford on Monday night.
The Gunners ran out comfortable 3-0 winners at the League One club thanks to Mohamed Elneny's header and Eddie Nketiah's brace.
The betting patterns centre around the booking of Oxford defender Ciaron Brown.
The 24-year-old Northern Ireland defender was shown a yellow card in the 59th minute following a foul on Nketiah. It was the only booking in the match.
The FA is understood to be aware of the matter and will investigate.
