Source context

Arsenal were knocked out of the League Cup last night by fourth-tier Fleetwood Town, and it could not have been more embarrassing for the Gunners, who wanted to win the quadruple. That competition has not been a good place for the Gunners over the last decades, as they have not won it in more than 30 years and Arsene Wenger never won the trophy. Arsenal gave their fans hope of ending the drought last season when they reached the final, where they faced Manchester City, but the Citizens beat them.
