    Hein is consoled by Rob Holding after his blunder
    Despite Arsenal eventually falling to defeat, the duo linked up in attack with some scintillating play at the Emirates.
    And it took Nketiah just 20 minutes to fire Arsenal ahead with a sublime curled effort, having been played in by Nelson following a terrific dribble by the winger.
    Gunners fans rejoiced as their heavily-changed team look to press home their advantage against Roberto De Zerbi’s side.
    But things quickly took a turn for Mikel Arteta’s title chasers as Hein committed a cardinal sin on the field.

    As Brighton sliced Arsenal’s backline apart with a long ball from deep, Hein was caught out in a bad way.
    Attempting to quickly move forward, he instead slipped and fell to the ground.
    The Estonian, on loan at Reading last season, then scrambled up to reach a hand out as Danny Welbeck charged towards goal.
    But in doing so, Hein instead wrapped his arm around the ex-Gooner’s legs, dragging him to the ground and giving away a spot-kick.

    Arsenal fans groaned as Hein was left to rue his mistake.
    And Welbeck made sure he took full advantage by netting Brighton’s equaliser from the spot for 1-1.
    Supporters quickly took to Twitter bemoaning Hein’s error, with some suggesting he may not get the chance to impress ever again.
    One said: “Sadly Karl Heinz’s Arsenal debut will be his only appearance. His career at Arsenal is over, Arteta won’t play him again.”
    Another joked: “Maybe he is Steven Gerrard’s cousin.”
    One declared: “Yikes, poor guy.”
    Another added: “Rubbish keeper sell him.”

    The striker’s goals will surely prove key to the Three Lions’ success, having fired Gareth Southgate to a World Cup semi and Euros final in the past.
    However, Antonio Conte decided to infuriate the English public on Wednesday by including Kane in his Spurs side at Forest.
    The Carabao Cup third round clash is the second-to-last game in the calendar before teams break for the World Cup.
    And many England and Tottenham fans had been convinced that Kane would play no role against the Prem’s bottom side.

    They were indeed left shocked when Conte put forward a strong XI, including Kane up top.
    And it led to almost all supporters saying the same thing on Twitter, with everyone hoping and praying Kane will avoid injury at the Forest Ground.
    One fan declared: “Appreciate the gesture Harry Kane but it’s genuinely fine if you want to take this one at walking pace.”
    Another yelled: “So are we taking this seriously? This line-up seems like we are. Kane hasn’t had a break in how long?!”

    One added: “Not happy. Kane on the verge of tearing a hamstring. Played every game since October.” More

    Man City 2 Chelsea 0 LIVE NREACTION: Mahrez and Alvarez goals seal Carabao Cup fourth round berth against Blues

    CHELSEA lost 2-0 to Manchester City in their Carabao Cup third round clash. The Blues had been holding on for most of the game before Riyad Mahrez put City ahead with a beautiful free-kick.
    Julian Alvarez then made it 2-0 soon after with a tap-in.

    RESULT: Man City 2-0 Chelsea
    Man City XI: Ortega Moreno, Lewis, Dias, Laporte, Gomez, Rodrigo, Gundogan (C), Palmer, Mahrez, Grealish, Alvarez
    Chelsea XI: Mendy, Chalobah, Koulibaly, Cucurella, Loftus-Cheek, Kovacic, Zakaria, Hall, Ziyech, Pulisic, Broja

    That’s all from us
    Thanks for joining our coverage of Man City vs Chelsea.
    Man City ran out 2-0 winners thanks to goals from Riyad Mahrez and Julian Alvarez.
    Jack Grealish and Stefan Ortega both put in wonderful displays to help secure passage into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.
    However, on another night Chelsea could have easily scored three, with Lewis Hall and Christian Pulisic having the best chances of the night.
    There will be questions around Kalidou Koulibaly’s place in the team going forward as he put in a very below-par display.
    Nevertheless, City will want to reclaim their title in this competition, and they have taken the first steps to ensure that.
    From everyone at SunSport, have a good night!
    Pep on Haaland vs Alvarez
    Guardiola has declared Haaland and Alvarez can play together, but has named Haaland as “perhaps the best striker in the world.”
    Alvarez scored once again to help City past Chelsea and is knocking on the door of the City first xi.
    However, Haaland’s incredible form would put any other striker on the bench.
    Pulisic called up by America.
    The US Men’s National Team announced there World Cup squad, and it includes Chelsea star Pulisic.
    It’s some welcome good news for him after tonight’s result.
    Though Pulisic himself played fairly well.
    London falling
    After tonight’s results and Brentford being knocked out yesterday, League One side Charlton are the only team left in the competition from London.
    There might be a few shouts from The Valley about who the real “pride of London” are.
    Results elsewhere
    Well to say the London clubs have had a nightmare this round would be an understatement.
    Here are the full-time readings from elsewhere tonight.

    Newcastle 0-0 Crystal Palace (Newcastle win 3-2 on pens)

    Full-time thoughts
    It was simply not Chelsea’s day.
    Chelsea created more than enough big chances to win this game, but the lack of a killer instinct is something they are really missing up front.
    It was a theme of Potter’s time at Brighton, and it seems to be coming over into his time now.
    There were strong performances from Pulisic, Cucurella, Mendy and Hall, but others really didn’t turn up.
    Meanwhile, City saw their early second-half blitz pay dividends with goals from Mahrez and Alvarez.
    The performance from Grealish was simply superb however, he dominated the midfield and was a key component of everything City did that was positive this evening.
    When Guardiola has said they didn’t sign Grealish for his goals or assists – this is exactly the type of performance that showcases it.
    However, it wasn’t the one for trying as Mendy denied him with a number of good saves.
    Deputy City keeper Ortega should also be mentioned for high praise. He just simply refused to be beaten.
    Full-time: Man City 2-0 Chelsea
    It’s all over as last season’s finalists are beaten.
    Man City 2-0 Chelsea
    90. Even when they put it in the net they cannot score.
    A laughable sequence sees the ball go from almost being turned in by a City player to Chelsea somehow managing to bundle the ball in through a crowd of bodies, only for the offside flag to go up.
    Man City 2-0 Chelsea
    89. Ooooh some handbags between Grealish and Azpilicueta there.
    The Chelsea man left a little something on Grealish that was far from appreciated.
    The pair went chest to chest and the ref brandished a card a piece.
    Man City 2-0 Chelsea
    88. Same old story for Chelsea.
    A corner is whipped in that finds its way to Gallagher.
    He scuffs his effort but somehow directed the ball to Mount, who then turned and whipped the ball towards goal.
    Only to see the ball go just wide of the post again.
    Man City 2-0 Chelsea
    86. Cucurella just did so well to win it back only for Havertz to kill the move – inside the City area – with a woeful pass into no one.
    Man City 2-0 Chelsea
    85. Well that sums up the evening for Chelsea.
    They’ve looked bright but have lacked a killer instinct.
    And once again that was displayed as a ball was swung into the far post where two Chelsea players tried to get the ball but either could not make supplementary contact or direct it towards goal.
    Man City 2-0 Chelsea
    80. Ake comes on for Laporte as City make their third change of the night.
    Man City 2-0 Chelsea
    78. Havertz drags a shot well wide of the post after a sharp turn.
    He has haunted City in the past, most notably with his goal in the Champions League final.
    But he won’t be doing anything like that tonight if he keeps that up.
    Man City 2-0 Chelsea
    75. Chelsea make their final sub.
    Hall makes way for Havertz, but it has to be said that Hall enjoyed an impressive game at The Etihad tonight.
    The first half particularly showed off a bright light for Chelsea.
    He has led his team in a number of metrics, including duels won and shots taken.
    He did fade second half so his substitution does make some sense.
    Man City 2-0 Chelsea
    72. Ortega again prevents a goal, but the flag goes up anyway.
    Cucurella bypasses the City press with a good pass infield to find Mount.
    He then spreads the play and finds Loftus-Cheek down the right who then manages to find a Pulisic in the area.
    He then manages to crack a shot off but Ortega keeps the ball out of the net once again.
    However, the flag goes up so it wouldn’t have counted anyway.
    Man City 2-0 Chelsea
    69. Wow, FOUR changes for Chelsea just now.
    Chalobah makes way for club captain Azpilicueta while Gallagher replaces Zakaria in midfield.
    Ziyech comes off for Raheem Sterling too, while Broja also comes off for Mount.
    A disappointing evening for Broja it has to be said. He was largely anonymous throughout the performance.
    Man City 2-0 Chelsea
    67. Cucurella with another big block.
    City once again explode into a lighting quick tempo as Grealish bursts through the lines and into the penalty area.
    He beats one, two and three players before Cucurella is able to match him and block his shot.
    Man City 2-0 Chelsea
    66. Chelsea are now preparing a pair of changes as City work the ball between themselves in front of the Chelsea block.
    Man City 2-0 Chelsea
    63. WHAT A SAVE FROM ORTEGA
    Ortega produces a stunning save to deny Hall once again.
    That entire move came from a wonderful Berba-spin from Ziyech right at the byline.
    The Moroccan then found Hall in the middle who fired a shot at goal, but Ortega was just about able to keep it out with a superb reflex save.
    Man City 2-0 Chelsea
    60. Another save from Mendy.
    Palmer drives forward unopposed by Chelsea’s defence and drives a low shot towards the goal.
    Mendy is able to save it, but it now seems he is working overtime for them.
    Alvarez is sharpest on the rebound
    58. Chelsea have been caught napping again there.
    Palmer takes a quick free-kick that sets Grealish away.
    He then finds Mahrez who fires a curling shot that Mendy is able to push away at full stretch.
    But Alvarez is lurking at the far post to poach home the second and double the lead.
    Man City 2-0 Chelsea
    GOALLLLL
    Another goal at The Etihad

    RESULT: Arsenal 1-3 Brighton
    Arsenal XI: Hein, Cedric, Saliba, Holding, Tierney, Elneny, Lokonga, Vieira, Marquinhos, Nelson, Nketiah
    Brighton XI: Steele, Lamptey, Dunk, Colwill, March, Sarmiento, Enciso, Caicedo, Gilmour, Veltman, Welbeck

    FULL-TIME: Arsenal 1-3 Brighton
    That’s it! Goals from Danny Welbeck, Kaoru Mitoma and Tariq Lamptey have handed Brighton a brilliant win over Arsenal at the Emirates.
    Eddie Nketiah’s opener looked to have set the hosts on their way to victory, but now they have been dumped out of the Carabao Cup in the third round for the first time since 2015.
    Arsenal 1-3 Brighton
    90+3 mins: A high cross comes into Nketiah but he tamely heads down for Steele to claim.
    Seconds remaining at the Emirates.
    Arsenal 1-3 Brighton
    90 mins: A woeful Zinchenko cross is straight into the arms of Steele.
    That will just about do it for Brighton as four minutes of stoppage time are added on.
    Arsenal 1-3 Brighton
    88 mins: The obvious “Is there a fire drill” rings out from the Brighton end as a hush descends over the Emirates.
    This has been a thoroughly underwhelming night for the Gunners.
    Arsenal 1-3 Brighton
    86 mins: A tame header is straight into the arms of Steele.
    The Arsenal fans are flooding out now. The hope seems to have gone from the home contingent.
    Arsenal 1-3 Brighton
    84 mins: Great chance for Arsenal!
    They work the ball well and find Martinelli completely unmarked at the back post, but his low effort is straight at the feet of Steele who makes the stop.
    Arsenal 1-3 Brighton
    82 mins: Brighton continue to use possession as their best form of defence. It is an effective weapon.
    Lamptey is caught late by Zinchenko and that’s another little break in play for the visitors.
    Some Arsenal fans see that as their cue to leave.
    Arsenal 1-3 Brighton
    80 mins: Undav replaces Sarmiento as De Zerbi runs down the clock a little more.
    Jesus is found inside the Brighton penalty area and he lays it off to Nketiah, but Webster – on for Dunk – ushers him out of play.
    Another sub for Arsenal now. Xhaka on for Lokonga.
    Arsenal 1-3 Brighton
    78 mins: A clipped ball over the top finds Lokonga but Gilmour gets back to make a brilliant last-ditch challenge just as the Arsenal midfielder sets his body to have a shot.
    Brighton have defended so impressively tonight. They’ve dominated for large periods, but when Arsenal have come forward they have been thwarted by a brilliantly organised team.
    Arsenal 1-3 Brighton
    76 mins: Enciso has made way for Pervis Estupinan. Lamptey has pushed into an attacking role on the right side now as Estupinan takes up the left-back role.
    Nketiah is found in some space down the left channel but his tame cross is safely into the arms of Steele.
    Arsenal 1-3 Brighton
    76 mins: There’s a scramble in the Brighton box as the ball gets stuck under a host of blue and white shirts, but Lamptey eventually clears.
    Brighton then go up the other end and earn themselves a corner, but Welbeck lashes over on the half-volley.
    Now Enciso has gone down injured. The Arsenal fans aren’t happy but this is playing even more into Brighton’s hands.
    Arsenal 1-3 Brighton
    73 mins: More changes for Arsenal. Jesus and Zinchenko are on for Tierney and Vieira.
    Can they do anything to salvage this?
    GOAL! Arsenal 1-3 Brighton (Lamptey, 72)
    72 mins: That could be the match for Brighton!
    The nippy wingback uses his pace to storm beyond the Arsenal defence and cooly slot into the far corner.
    It’s bedlam in the away end now!
    Arsenal 1-2 Brighton
    71 mins: Martinelli fouls Veltman on the halfway line. More groans from the Arsenal fans.
    “Top of the league, you’re having a laugh” rings out from the away end. The Brighton fans are loving this right now.
    Arsenal 1-2 Brighton
    69 mins: Mikel Arteta is in constant conversation with his backroom staff. They must be wondering what they have to do to get the ball off Brighton right now.
    Roberto De Zerbi is very animated in the other technical area. And his side seem to be listening at the moment.
    Arsenal 1-2 Brighton
    67 mins: The Arsenal supporters are doing their best to get behind their team, but right now it’s Brighton who look more like getting a third.
    The Seagulls are keeping the ball incredibly well. This is frustrating for the hosts.
    Arsenal 1-2 Brighton
    65 mins: Arsenal give the ball away again and Brighton have a throw-in midway inside the Gunners’ half.
    Veltman takes about as long as you can possibly take with a throw before eventually releasing it. I imagine they’ll be a lot of that between now and the final whistle.
    Arsenal 1-2 Brighton
    63 mins: Here come the Arsenal changes.
    Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel on for Saliba and Marquinhos.
    Arsenal 1-2 Brighton
    61 mins: When will Arteta look to his bench? De Zerbi brought Mitoma and Gross on at half-time for March and Caicedo. And now it has paid off.
    Arsenal have a huge amount of firepower waiting on the bench. Surely it’s only a matter of time before the Spaniard turns to them?
    GOAL! Arsenal 1-2 Brighton (Mitoma, 58)
    59 mins: There is a goal but it’s not for Arsenal!
    Out of nowhere, Brighton are ahead and it’s half-time substitute Mitoma that has hit the back of the net.
    Sarmiento is played in behind the Arsenal defence. He assesses his options and feeds the onrushing Mitoma who bends a delightful effort into the top corner.
    Very similar finish to Nketiah’s in the first half.
    Brighton have come from behind to lead at the Emirates.
    Arsenal 1-1 Brighton
    58 mins: Brighton keeper Steele has had enough. He thumps the ball aimlessly upfield with no blue and white shirt in the same postcode as his pass.
    The Arsenal fans can sense this might be the moment they go and win the tie.
    Arsenal 1-1 Brighton
    56 mins: Arsenal come again and Nelson tries to slide a pass in for Nketiah but Dunk ushers it out of play.
    Brighton need to regroup or you have to think Arsenal will be ahead very shortly.
    Arsenal 1-1 Brighton
    54 mins: Arsenal are growing in confidence now and Brighton are beginning to drop deeper and deeper.
    Nelson cuts inside and into the area but Brighton have enough bodies back to deal with the danger as the Arsenal forward is forced to go backwards.
    The Emirates is alive now, though. Maybe they have heard Tottenham are losing 2-0 to Nottingham Forest?
    Arsenal 1-1 Brighton
    52 mins: Close for Arsenal!
    Marquinhos produces his first decent bit of quality this evening as he crosses for Vieira, but Steele denies him with a good save.
    Nketiah then fires wide from close range.
    Arsenal 1-1 Brighton
    49 mins: SO CLOSE FOR ARSENAL!
    Nketiah drifts in from the left and tries a low strike which creeps beyond Steele but cannons off the inside of the post and dribbles out.
    So unfortunate. Nketiah thought he had his second of the night.

    How Man Utd could line up against Aston Villa in Carabao Cup with Erik ten Hag out for revenge after 3-1 thrashing

    MANCHESTER UNITED are set to name a strong starting XI when they take on Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup.The Red Devils suffered a humiliating 3-1 defeat to Unai Emery’s side in the Premier League on Sunday.
    Man Utd could look like this against Aston Villa tomorrow
    And Erik ten Hag has vowed to not go easy on Villa as he seeks instant revenge tomorrow.
    David De Gea is likely to start between the sticks after becoming one of the Dutchman’s favourites.
    He could be protected by a back-four of Tyrell Malacia, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Diogo Dalot – who is suspended for the weekend trip to Fulham.
    In midfield, Fred and Scott McTominay are both pushing for important roles.
    READ MORE ON MAN UTD
    And Bruno Fernandes is set to return as United’s No10 after missing the 3-1 defeat to Villa through suspension.
    Provided they both came through today’s final session with no problems, Antony and Jadon Sancho could return on the flanks.
    And Anthony Martial is likely to lead the line ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo after making his return from injury off the bench on Sunday.
    But Ten Hag could yet throw a few curveballs to keep Emery and Villa guessing.

    Another way United could look against Villa
    On-loan Newcastle goalie Martin Dubravka could finally make his United bow.
    And Lisandro Martinez could be retained in defence after an impressive start to life at the club.
    Christian Eriksen is another who could be kept in order to pull the strings from deep.
    And should there be problems for Antony on the right wing, Alejandro Garnacho could get a go.
    Finally, Marcus Rashford could be an option for the left if the game also comes too soon for Sancho. More
