Lincoln City's fairytale FA Cup run ended at the quarterfinal stage as Arsenal put aside its own problems to crush the fifth-tier side 5-0 at the Emirates Stadium Saturday. It took a laboring Arsenal until first-half stoppage time to take the lead through Theo Walcott but the 12-time winner made its superiority count after the break. Olivier Giroud side-footed Arsenal's second after 53 minutes and five minutes later Lincoln's hopes were extinguished as its skipper Luke Waterfall turned in Kieran Gibbs' cross into his own goal. Alexis Sanchez, on from the start added a classy fourth and Aaron Ramsey made it 5-0 to the Premier League side who were humiliated by Bayern Munich in the Champions League in midweek. Lincoln, which became the first minor league side to reach the FA Cup quarterfinals for more than a century by knocking out top flight Burnley in round five, had delighted their 9,000 travelling fans in the first half with a gritty display. They even went close to taking the lead when Nathan Arnold weaved in from the right and forced Petr Cech into a fine save. Sevilla suffers setback Sevilla's hopes of winning a first La Liga title since 1946 were dented for the second time in five days as it fought back for a 1-1 draw at home to struggling Leganes thanks to Stevan Jovetic's first-half equalizer Saturday. Sevilla is third on 57 points, three behind leader Barcelona and two behind Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann scored for the fourth time in three games to earn a hard-fought 1-0 win at Granada which leaves Diego Simeone's side fourth on 52 points, four ahead of Real Sociedad. Gabriel Pires gave Leganes a shock third minute lead at Sevilla with a clever backheel from close range and the Madrid outfit, which is 16th, missed two chances to double the lead. Jovetic pulled Jorge Sampaoli's side level two minutes before halftime after Fernando Vazquez had an effort narrowly ruled offside. Mbappe sparks Monaco Teen prodigy Kylian Mbappe scored his 10th league goal of the campaign as Monaco beat Bordeaux 2-1 Saturday to cement their place at the top of Ligue 1. Mbappe opened the scoring midway through the second half at the Stade Louis II and a beauty from Joao Moutinho doubled the principality side's lead. They held on to take all three points after a howler from goalkeeper Danijel Subasic allowed Diego Rolan in to reduce the arrears. Monaco is five points clear of local rival Nice at the top with nine games left. Elsewhere on Saturday, Guingamp crushed struggling Bastia 5-0 while Rennes drew 1-1 with Dijon. Monaco loanee Rony Lopes got the winner as Lille came from behind to win 2-1 at Nancy. Sampdoria beats Genoa Sampdoria secured a historic 1-0 win over Genoa on Saturday to complete the double over its city rival for the first time in 57 years. Luis Muriel scored in the Derby della Lanterna in the 71st minute. Sampdoria moved into ninth place while Genoa remained 15th ahead of the rest of the weekend's fixtures. — Agencies
