Mikel Arteta reacts to Max Dowman's red card in Carabao Cup loss

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed frustration following 16-year-old Max Dowman's red card in a Carabao Cup match against Fleetwood Town. Dowman was sent off for violent conduct in the 85th minute, responding to a heavy challenge from Fleetwood's Harrison Neal. The incident sparked a brawl and left Arsenal down to 10 men as the match headed for penalties, which they ultimately lost. Arteta stated he had not yet reviewed the incident but seemed disappointed and did not offer support to Dowman. The player will be suspended for the next three Premier League matches, starting with a fixture against Liverpool on Sunday. Arsenal is also facing challenges with injuries to key players like Bukayo Saka.
