Young Guns Oust Lactics in Carling Cup

Fielding a team consisting mainly second stringers with an average age of 19, Arsenal has delivered another scintillating performance following their previous thrashing to Sheffield United to annihilate Wigan's hopes for the Carling Cup.

Mexican teen sensation, Carlos Vela created devastating havoc to Wigan's defence all night long and deservedly added Arsenal's third goal to his name after conjuring Arsenal's second.

Young striker, Jay Simpson started on his debut game for Arsenal and is likely to attract close attention from reporters in his next game, should he start for Arsenal again. He scored two goals against a Wigan defence comprising mainly first team regulars and was singled out by Arsene Wenger for his sterling performance.

Elsewhere, Tevez converted a 76th minute to squeeze Man United into the next round with a paltry 1-0 win over Ipswich. If not for Peter Ramage's moment of madness which granted United their converted penalty, United would have stolen the headlines off Arsenal's entertaining demolition of Wigan.

As for other results of the Carling Cup so far, nothing worth mentioning i guess.
