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. Newcastle managed only one goal through Dan Burn's header late in the match. Prime Minister Andy Burnham, a prominent Everton supporter, watched his team secure their spot in the next round. The League Cup quarterfinals draw was made on Wednesday, with Fleetwood now preparing to host Everton at home.
