Arsenal are through to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup after a 2-0 win over Port Vale , with Eberechi Eze grabbing his first goal for the club and Leandro Trossard sealing it late on. The Gunners made nine changes from the side that faced Manchester City, but still showed enough quality and depth to get the job done on a tricky night in Staffordshire, Softfootball reports.
Mikel Arteta pretty much looked satisfied in his post-match press conference via the team website, praising the performance, the debut of Kepa Arrizabalaga, and the toughness of his side despite a much-changed lineup.
He also highlighted the challenges of games like these in the English football world which can be very tricky, stressing how reputations are always on the line when Premier League clubs face lower-league opposition.
