Bellerin 'gutted but very proud' after Arsenal's Carabao Cup penalty shootout exit

The Spanish right-back believes there are plenty of positives to take away from the high-scoring encounter at Anfield

Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin says he is “very gutted but very proud” of the Gunners’ performance in a thrilling 5-5 draw at Anfield that saw Liverpool progress on penalties.

The Londoners twice held a two-goal advantage but were pegged back, eventually conceding a stoppage-time equaliser to take the game to a shootout.

Bellerin, captain for the night, netted the first spot-kick but his international compatriot Dani Ceballos saw Caoimhin Kelleher push his penalty aside for the only save of the shootout, meaning the Reds went into the quarter-finals.
