Odegaard urges Arsenal to move on after Fleetwood upset
FLEETWOOD: 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.
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard emphasized the need to move on swiftly after Arsenal's shocking 5-3 penalty defeat to League Cup fourth-tier opponents Fleetwood. The match ended 1-1 after extra time, with Arsenal's Bruno Guimaraes' penalty saved by Jay Lynch and Conor Haughey scoring the winning goal for Fleetwood. Aaron Loupalo-Bi had put Fleetwood ahead before Viktor Gyokeres equalised for Arsenal.
Manager Mikel Arteta made nine changes to the starting lineup, but Odegaard replaced him during the second half. The young midfielder expressed frustration over the team's performance, stating they must improve significantly. Despite Fleetwood's achievement, Odegaard acknowledged their credit but emphasized the necessity to bounce back, particularly for the upcoming tough match against Liverpool.
The FA is reportedly considering an appeal against 16-year-old Max Dowman's red card, who was sent off for a foul on Harrison Neal.
