Mikel Arteta’s immediate reaction to Max Dowman’s red card against Fleetwood Town has become one of the biggest talking points from Arsenal’s shock Carabao Cup exit. The 16-year-old was sent off late in the 1-1 draw after reacting to a heavy challenge from Harrison Neal, before Arsenal went on to lose 5-3 on penalties.

According to Football.London, lip-reading expert Nicola Hickling believes Arteta told Dowman: “Get in the changing room, Max.”Read original report ↗
