Fleetwood Town took the lead against Arsenal in the League Cup, with Viktor Gyokeres scoring the equalizing goal for Arsenal after Ceadach O’Neill's cross, according BBC.com.

The match has been described as tough for the League Two side, with Arsenal dominating possession but creating few chances.

Former Republic of Ireland midfielder Andy Reid noted that Fleetwood restricted Arsenal to very little, a feat achieved by few teams in recent years.

Former Everton midfielder Leon Osman stated that Arsenal were not at their expected level, but were likely to improve in the second half.

The match has been marked by several substitutions, including Arsenal's Martin Odegaard and Ben White, and Peterborough's triple change.

Fleetwood's goal was scored through a scruffy but effective play, with Gyokeres bundling the ball over the line.

Adam Phillips made amends for a wasted chance by scoring a brilliant goal from 20 yards out.

The winners of the match will proceed to the quarter-finals.

Fleetwood's performance has been praised, with their counter-attacks looking dangerous and their defense resolute.

However, Arsenal's performance has been criticized, with many senior players failing to produce their best.

The match continues, with Arsenal pushing for an equalizer and Fleetwood looking to hold on to their lead.

The outcome remains uncertain, but Fleetwood are 45 minutes away from a huge upset.
