League Two Fleetwood dump Arsenal out of Carabao Cup on penalties

What's new: Fleetwood reached the quarterfinals after a 1-1 draw, with Jay Lynch saving Bruno Guimaraes' spot kick.

Fleetwood Town pulled off one of the biggest Carabao Cup upsets in recent memory, knocking out Premier League champions Arsenal on penalties after a 1-1 fourth-round draw at Highbury on Tuesday. Aaron Loupalo-Bi gave the League Two side the lead, and Viktor Gyokeres equalized after halftime, but Arsenal failed to turn long spells of possession into a winner. The game also featured an early delay after a drone flew above the pitch. Arsenal's task grew harder when Max Dowman was sent off before the shootout. In the tiebreaker, Fleetwood goalkeeper Jay Lynch saved from Bruno Guimaraes before Conor Haughey converted the decisive penalty to send the home side into the quarterfinals.
