Burnley knock Arsenal out of English League Cup

LONDON: Burnley's winning run against teams from London continued on Tuesday with a 2-0 defeat of Arsenal to reach the semifinals of the English League Cup.

Kevin McDonald scored twice for the Championship (second division) side to see off an Arsenal team made up almost entirely of young reserves and end a 25-year wait to reach the semifinals of a major competition.

Stoke City were another Premier League casualty when they lost 1-0 to Derby County of the Championship for whom Nathan Ellington converted a last-gasp penalty.
