Arsenal dumped out of Carabao Cup by League Two Fleetwood on penalties
Premier League champions Arsenal lost 5-3 on penalties to fourth-tier Fleetwood Town after a 1-1 draw in the Carabao Cup fourth round.
Arsenal crashed out of the Carabao Cup in a shock 5-3 penalty defeat to League Two Fleetwood Town after the match finished 1-1. Aaron Loupalo-Bi put Fleetwood ahead in the 21st minute before Viktor Gyökeres equalised after half-time. Arsenal had 26 shots and 78 per cent possession but could not find a winner. The Gunners were reduced to ten men in the 86th minute when 16-year-old Max Dowman was sent off for kicking out at Harrison Neal following a challenge. In the shootout, Fleetwood goalkeeper Jay Lynch saved Bruno Guimarães' penalty before Conor Haughey scored the winning spot-kick. Fleetwood manager Matt Lawlor said afterwards it was 'unbelievably special'. Arteta acknowledged Arsenal's profligacy, saying they had created 'so many chances' that should have produced 'a much bigger margin'.
