Emile Smith-Rowe Scores in Arsenal's 2-1 League Cup Win over Blackpool

Arsenal reached the last eight of the 2018 Carabao Cup after beating League One side Blackpool 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night, despite Mateo Guendouzi being sent off early in the second half.

Goals from Stephan Lichtsteiner and Emile Smith Rowe helped see a much-changed Gunners lineup through to the quarter-final stage for the second season running, even after Paudie O'Connor got one back for the visitors.

Both sides were reduced to 10 men when Guendouzi received a second yellow card, before O'Connor was dismissed after 85 minutes, following a reckless challenge on substitute Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
