Odegaard urges Arsenal to move on after Fleetwood upset
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has insisted "we can't feel sorry for ourselves" and must move on quickly following their stunning loss away to fourth-tier Fleetwood in the League Cup.We need to move on -- we have a big game at the weekend, so bouncing back at the weekend is all we can do now," Odegaard added.
Fleetwood triumphed over Arsenal in a shocking League Cup fourth-round match, with the League Two side defeating the Premier League champions 3-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time. Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard called for his team to move on quickly from their embarrassing defeat. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta made nine changes to his lineup, but it wasn't enough to overcome the League Two opposition.
Odegaard expressed frustration at the result, stating that Arsenal's performance was not up to standard and that they need to improve significantly. Fleetwood's teenage star, Conor Haughey, scored the winning penalty, while Arsenal's Bruno Guimaraes had his shot saved by Jay Lynch. Arsenal defender Max Dowman received a red card five minutes from the end of normal time for a reckless challenge.
Arsenal will face Liverpool in their next match, with the Gunners now tied on points with league leaders Manchester City.
