Story summary

Fleetwood Town, a fourth-tier team, advanced to the League Cup quarterfinals by defeating Arsenal, the reigning Premier League champions, in a penalty shootout. This stunning result sets up a match against Everton, who earlier secured their place in the last eight with a 3-1 victory over Newcastle United at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Thursday. The game saw goals from James Garner and Hayden Hackney in the first half for Everton, followed by Thierno Barry's third goal after halftime.

The League Cup quarterfinals draw was made on Wednesday, with Fleetwood now preparing to host Everton at home.
