The loss was the first time the Gunners have conceded four goals at home in a league cup encounter since November 1998 under Arsene Wenger.

Gabriel Jesus took the lead in the first half through a shambolic defending by the Gunners before Alexandre Lacazette levelled the scores 16 minutes to the first half.

Riyad Mahrez put the Citizens back ahead in the 54th minute after Runarsson mishandled Mahrez’s free-kick around the wall. Phil Foden notched City’s third before Aymeric Laporte made it four for the visitors following the Gunners failed offside line from a City short corner when unmarked Laporte got his head of Foden's in-swinging cross to advance City into the semis for the fourth consecutive time in the tournament.

The win extends the Citizen's unbeaten run in this competition to 18 games and sees them join Brentford in the hat for Wednesday’s semi-final draw.

It is the 14th time the Gunners have been eliminated from the quarter-final stage of the League Cup more times than any other side in the competition’s history and Arteta is yet to pick a win since December 12, 2020, when Arsenal won against Dundalk in the Europa League competition at the Aviva Stadium in Ireland.

Fans have called for his sack following the Gunners 15th position on the PL position with 14 points.
