2 positives and 3 negatives from Arsenal's shock loss to Fleetwood
Story updated
The story in brief
5-second readHere are two positives and three negatives from Arsenal's Carabao cup upset at the hands of Fleetwood Town.
From the source
Arsenal suffered one of the biggest upsets of all time on Tuesday night when League Two Fleetwood Town knocked them out on penalties in the Carabao Cup fourth round.
After a bizarre early break in play prompted by a drone hovering over the stadium, Fleetwood took a shock lead when Aaron Loupalo-Bi shrugged off Marli Salmon and slotted beyond Illan Meslier.
This gave the Gunners a mountain to climb against the League Two outfit's stubborn, compact low block, and they made little inroads toward turning it around in the rest of what was a stodgy first half.
