Brentford, fourth in the Championship, upset Premier League side Newcastle thanks to Josh Dasilva’s second-half goal in rain-lashed west London. Their fourth Premier League scalp took them into their first ever major domestic cup semi-final. Arsenal have lost five of their last seven Premier League games and are 15th in the table, making this their worst start to a season since 1974-75. Arteta, whose club last won the League Cup in 1993, believes beating City would be a springboard to a successful second half of the season. But they still trail eight points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool after an inconsistent start to the campaign.
