From the source
Arsenal’s Carabao Cup exit at Fleetwood Town on Tuesday night will be remembered as one of the biggest shocks in the competition’s history. And one moment late in the game will be talked about all week.
With five minutes of normal time left, Max Dowman was sent off for kicking out after a heavy tackle from Harrison Neal. As the 16-year-old walked down the tunnel, Mikel Arteta was seen giving him a stern telling-off, and he gave a blunt answer when asked about it afterwards.
Paul Merson was among those who questioned Arteta’s reaction, suggesting he would have put his arm around the teenager. But there may be more to it than first appeared.
