A group of Arsenal fans unfurl a banner calling for manager Arsene Wenger to resign following their 4-0 FA Cup victory over Hull City.

A group of Arsenal fans unfurled a banner at the end of the 4-0 FA Cup win over Hull City this evening imploring Arsene Wenger to resign as manager of the club.

The Gunners made it 16 FA Cup games unbeaten as braces from Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott saw them cruise into the quarter-finals of the competition.

However, it was also their first win in six matches in all competitions, and with Arsenal now eight points behind leaders Leicester City in the Premier League title race and heading for a Champions League exit at the hands of Barcelona, fans have grown restless in recent weeks.

Many supporters have voiced their displeasure during recent games, and despite such a comfortable win this evening, a banner reading "Arsene thanks for the memories but it's time to say goodbye" was unfurled after the final whistle at the KC Stadium.

Arsenal, who will face Watford in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup this weekend, are bidding to become the first team to win the competition three years in a row since the 1880s.
