Arsenal suffered a shock cup exit against Fleetwood Town following a dramatic penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw. Fulham loanee Aaron Loupalo-Bi scored an early goal for the League Two team before Viktor Gyokeres equalised in the second half. Max Dowman was sent off for kicking out at an opponent, and Connor Haughey scored the winning penalty after Bruno Guimaraes missed his spot-kick.
