OLIVER HOLT AT HIGHBURY STADIUM: Beside the tram tracks that run all the way down to Blackpool, they were doing a brisk trade at The Eating Plaice as kick-off edged closer.

Fleetwood Town eliminated Arsenal from the Carabao Cup fourth round in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw at Highbury. Aaron Loupalo-Bi opened the scoring for the League Two side before Viktor Gyokeres equalized for Mikel Arteta's team early in the second half. Oliver Holt argues the result represents the greatest upset in the competition's history.
Arsenal played the closing stages with ten men after 16-year-old Max Dowman received a straight red card for kicking Harrison Neal. In the shootout, Jay Lynch saved Bruno Guimaraes's spot-kick before 19-year-old defender Conor Haughey scored the decisive fifth penalty to send Fleetwood into the quarter-finals.
