Ipswich-born striker helps League Two side stun Premier League champions in cup

Ipswich-born striker Will Davies helped League Two club Fleetwood Town stun Premier League champions Arsenal in the Carabao Cup, winning 5-3 on penalties following a 1-1 draw at Highbury Stadium. Aaron Loupalo-Bi opened the scoring for Fleetwood in the 21st minute before Viktor Gyokeres equalized for Mikel Arteta's side after halftime. The visitors were reduced to 10 men when teenager Max Dowman was sent off in the 86th minute.

Davies was introduced as an 82nd-minute substitute and successfully converted his spot kick during the decisive penalty shootout, with Conor Haughey netting the winning penalty. Matt Lawlor's squad, ranked 84 places below Arsenal, advanced to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, where they will learn their next opponents following the upcoming Chelsea versus Liverpool fixture.
