Fourth-tier Fleetwood produced one of the League Cup’s biggest ever shocks, defeating the champions 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw
Here’s the Fleetwood head coach, Matt Lawlor: “We’ve had to make changes, with the champions in town. But we’ve got a plan with substitutions to manage the game. Arsenal have paid us a lot of respect by naming such a strong team … it’s a very difficult challenge, but one we should enjoy, and not be overawed.”
“I was just thinking, with the two Highburys – I can only think of the St James(’) Parks (Exeter and Newcastle), but are there any other grounds with very similar names?” asks Shaun T.
