Carabao Cup: Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta urged his team to take their defeat to Fleetwood Town on the chin after the Gunners suffered a shock exit from the Carabao Cup, losing 5-3 on penalties in the fourth round.

Arsenal fought back from a goal down through Viktor Gyokeres in the second half after Aaron Loupalo-Bi had given the League Two side the lead in the 21st minute. However, the Gunners failed to capitalise on their chances in regulation time before Fleetwood prevailed in the penalty shootout.
