Mikel Arteta is understandably livid that Arsenal were knocked out of the League Cup by a fourth-tier team, but he insists it was Arsenal who handed belief to their hosts.
Arsenal reached the final of the League Cup last season and had been hopeful they would do even better in the competition in this campaign.
However, that did not happen as they have now been knocked out by the unlikeliest of teams. The Gunners will have to focus on winning other competitions, including the FA Cup, which is their favourite tournament, but they will carry the stain of that terrible performance with them for a long time.
