Carabao Cup: Arsenal win MASSIVE, City run RIOT, S'oto hit 4 and Spurs humbled

Arsenal comfortably walk over Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup at the Emirates yesterday.

Kieran Tierney made his debut at left-back, whiles Rob Holding returned from his length injury to play at centre-half. Hector Bellerin was named on the bench as 18-year-old striker Gabriel Martinelli was called for his first competitive start.

Sabri Lamouchi, meanwhile, has made six changes from the Nottingham Forest side that beat Barnsley 1-0 in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday. Ari Muric, who is on loan from Manchester City and played in this competition until the semi-final last season, started in goal, having been dropped from their league side earlier in the season, while Lewis Grabban was benched.

Martilenni scored the opening and his debut in the 31-minute. A lovely ball was pinged by Nelson to Chambers on the right. He drove it back in the middle and injected a volley. The 18 year old firmly connected with a header to turn the ball into the top corner.

Holding capped his return with a headed goal in the 71-minute after a decent corner was ballooned in the box. Six minutes later, Willock scored Arsenal’s third. Bellerin tried to shoot from the edge o the box but his effort was congested. The ball fell on the path of Mustaphi who played it neatly into the path of the Spaniard and he squared for Willock to turn the ball in.

Nelson scored the forth before Martinelli added his second from 25-yards out for to advance the Gunners into the fourth round.

Preston Town 0 -3 Manchester City

Manchester City run riot and hit three past Preston Town at the Deepdale Stadium.

Bravo, Angelino, E Garcia, Harwood-Bellis, Cancelo, Gundogan, Foden, Silva (C), Bernardo, Sterling, Jesus SUBS | Carson, Rodrigo, Mendy, Mahrez, Otamendi, Bernabe, Diounkou.

Raheem Sterling scored the opening in the 19-minute after dragging the ball from midfield. He outsmarted a few men in white and with his right foot, he hit the ball home to the bottom right corner.

Gabriel Jesus scored a second in the 35-minute with an assist from the former scorer.

Ryan Ledson scored an own goal to wrap the game in favor of the Citizens.

Portsmouth 0 – 4 Southampton

Ings, Cedric and Redmond wrote themselves into Saints folklore after they scored the goals that secured Saints' first win at Fratton Park since 1984.  Portsmouth could've and perhaps should've taken the lead in the first 20 minutes but they were been punished by a side with real quality upfront.The best team on the evening won.

Sheffield Wednesday 0 -2 Everton

Everton take their place in the fourth round as a first-half double from Dominic Calvert-Lewin eases the pressure on Marco Silva at Hillsborough.

Colchester 0 – 0 Spur (4 – 3 on penalties for Colchester)

Spurs could not humble a stubborn Colchester side. The game ended 0 – 0 in full time. The home side won the spot kicks by 4-3. Lucas Moura knocked his kick off the bar to make qualifying into the next round a dream for Spurs.
