MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Arsenal pushed further ahead in the race for the Premier League title and Manchester United moved a step closer to a second trophy this season by advancing to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup. But the biggest celebration of the night was reserved for Grimsby Town’s fans after the fourth-division club produced a famous cup upset to beat top-flight Southampton 2-1. Tottenham was also the casualty of a cup shock when losing 1-0 to second-tier Sheffield United. Arsenal’s focus is on the league and a 4-0 win against Everton saw the leaders move five points clear of Manchester City.
