A match in the third round of the British League Cup began, and Arsenal challenged Port Vier. Arsenal has achieved a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the league, ranking second only to Liverpool. In the last game, Arsenal encountered Manchester City, but it was difficult to get a draw with a last-minute goal. Now that we are in the British League Cup, Arsenal faces the 19th-ranked bottom team in the British League One. There was no surprise in the end, Arteta led Arsenal to win easily!

Arsenal lined up 433 formations in this game. The offensive trident combination of Martinelli, Merino and Saka jointly attacked. Eze, Nelgo and Envanelli form three midfielders. Lewis Skelly, Moscla, Saliba and Ben White started the game with four defenders. Kepa serves as the starting goalkeeper. Zhekelais and Rice sat on the bench and stood on standby.

Arsenal scored a goal just 8 minutes into the game! Eze shot low in the middle of the penalty area and the ball entered! This kind of start is so dreamy. The game has completely entered the rhythm of Arsenal since then. Eze had a chance to score twice, but unfortunately his shot was saved by the goalkeeper. Hall got a rare opportunity, his header was blocked and his shot was blocked. At the end of the half, Arsenal led Port Vier 1-0.

After the second half of the game, Martinelli got an excellent one-on-one opportunity, but the goalkeeper ran out of the penalty area and made a shovel and destroyed the ball. The goalkeeper's attack was perfect. After that, Port Vier continued to make substitutions and adjust, hoping to equalize the score. However, the gap in strength was too big, and substitutions could not change the weak attack of Port Vier. In the 86th minute, Trosad scored a low shot and killed the game. The final score was 2-0, and Arsenal eliminated Port Vier. Arsenal has been unbeaten in 4 games in all competitions. Arsenal advanced to the top 16 and will face the strong Brighton in the 1/8 finals.

Arsenal's possession rate in this game was as high as 81%, with 11 shots, 4 shots on the right side and 2 goals. Port Vier only had three poor shots, and none of them were directed. Eze finally got his first goal in his career. He played for Arsenal 5 times, scored 1 goal and sent 2 assists.
