League Two Fleetwood stuns Arsenal in Carabao Cup shootout

Fourth-tier Fleetwood Town stunned Premier League champions Arsenal, winning 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Aaron Loupalo-Bi put Fleetwood ahead in the first half, and Viktor Gyökeres equalised after the break. Arsenal’s 16-year-old Max Dowman was sent off in the 85th minute for kicking out at Harrison Neal after a challenge. Fleetwood goalkeeper Jay Lynch saved Bruno Guimarães’s penalty, and Conor Haughey scored the decisive kick. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said his team’s failure to make their chances count had proved costly.
