Giant sensation in England. Arsenal eliminated by a fourth-division team
Fleetwood Town took the lead in the 21st minute with a goal from 20-year-old Aaron Loupalo-Bi. Viktor Gyokeres equalized for Arsenal early in the second half. Arsenal played with a disadvantage during extra time after 16-year-old Max Dowman received a red card in the 85th minute. Fleetwood Town successfully converted all five penalties to advance to the quarter-finals, while Arsenal's Bruno missed in the fourth round. Despite having only 22% possession and two shots on target, Fleetwood's goalkeeper Jay Lynch made five saves against Arsenal's six attempts. Last season, Manchester City won the EFL Cup, defeating Arsenal 2-0 in the final at Wembley.
