League Two Fleetwood stun Premier League champions Arsenal on penalties
Fleetwood Town knocked out reigning Premier League champions Arsenal from the Carabao Cup on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
League Two side Fleetwood Town produced one of the biggest shocks in Carabao Cup history by eliminating Premier League champions Arsenal on penalties at Highbury Stadium on Tuesday. Aaron Loupalo-Bi put Fleetwood ahead in the 21st minute before Viktor Gyokeres equalised after the break. The match finished 1-1 and went to a penalty shootout, where Arsenal teenager Max Dowman was sent off in the 86th minute for kicking out following a challenge. Goalkeeper Jay Lynch saved Bruno Guimarães' penalty for Arsenal, and Conor Haughey scored the winner for Fleetwood, who converted all five of their spot-kicks to win 5-3. Fleetwood manager Matt Lawlor said the club had not practised penalties and were initially unaware the English Football League had scrapped extra time. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised Fleetwood's performance but expressed frustration at his team's inability to convert chances despite dominating possession.
