Reliving a historic night at Highbury
Less than 24 hours ago, Fleetwood Town stunned the footballing world by beating Arsenal on penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time.
Aaron Loupalo-Bi gave Fleetwood - ranked 84 places below the Gunners in the football pyramid - an unexpected lead in the 21st minute.
Viktor Gyokeres levelled for Mikel Arteta's side after the break, but a wasteful Arsenal side could not put the game to bed and they were reduced to 10 men in the 86th minute when teenager Max Dowman was sent off after kicking off at midfielder Harrison Neal.
The tie ended up going to penalties and Fleetwood goalkeeper Jay Lynch was the hero, saving Bruno Guimaraes' spot-kick as they went on to win 5-3 in the shootout. A historic night.
