Arteta links Arsenal's Anfield breakthrough to Fleetwood cup exit
Arsenal's first win at Anfield in 14 years was inspired by their League Cup loss to Fleetwood, according to manager Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has credited the club's League Cup defeat to Fleetwood with helping drive his side to a 1-0 Premier League victory over Liverpool at Anfield, the club's first win at the ground in 14 years.
The result ended a long wait for Arsenal at Anfield, where they had not won in 14 years before this match. The only goal of the game came from a match report referenced as Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal.
Arteta's assessment placed a cup setback against Fleetwood at the centre of the team's response. The scoreline and venue are confirmed by the match report, but the article does not include further detail on how the Fleetwood defeat shaped Arsenal's approach.
