Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta delivered a stern warning to youngster Max Dowman following the team's English League Cup defeat at Fleetwood Town on Friday.

Dowman was shown a straight red card by referee Michael Salisbury during the match, which ended in a loss for the Gunners.

Arteta described the dismissal as a "Disneyland" moment, urging the player to learn from the experience and avoid such reckless challenges in the future.

The defeat sees Arsenal eliminated from the competition, while Fleetwood Town advance to the next round.
