在卡拉宝杯的一场焦点战中，位于英格兰西北海岸的低级别球队弗利特伍德镇通过戏剧性的点球大战击败了英超冠军阿森纳。1 这场胜利被视为“童话般”的壮举，因为弗利特伍德属于英乙联赛（League Two），在足球金字塔中比对手低84个位置。1 尽管阿森纳球星维克托·居克雷斯（Viktor Gyökeres）在比赛开始仅5分钟后便取得进球，但最终未能改变比赛走向。1
这一结果引发了当地社区的广泛庆祝，事件发生在周二晚上的比赛后，直到周三上午居民们仍沉浸在喜悦之中。1 弗利特伍德镇人口约2.5万且没有火车站，而阿森纳拥有容量6万人的埃米尔球场，这种巨大的反差使得这场胜利更具传奇色彩。1 两队之间还存在历史渊源：弗利特伍德的主场名为Highbury，源自其所在街道名，与阿森纳旧主场同名；据当地酒吧员工Ray Curtis称，弗利特伍德的第一套主场球衣是由阿森纳赠送的。1
随着比赛的胜负悬念揭晓，当地球迷和居民期望这场胜利能为小镇带来经济活力和关注度。1 一位名叫保罗·达格（Paul Dagger）的居民在中场休息时曾投注200英镑赌阿森纳获胜，但这一预测最终落空。1 当地酒吧啤酒价格约为每品脱2.2至2.5英镑，远低于伦敦水平，这些场所成为了球迷分享喜悦的中心。1
Fleetwood Town, a League Two club sitting 84 places below Premier League champions Arsenal in the football pyramid, achieved a stunning upset in the Carabao Cup 1. The match at Highbury Stadium, named after the street it occupies and coincidentally sharing its title with Arsenal’s former home, ended via a dramatic penalty shootout 1. Although Arsenal star Viktor Gyökeres opened the scoring within five minutes of kickoff, the lower-league side secured a result described by locals as a fairytale achievement 1.
The community atmosphere remained jubilant into Wednesday morning, with residents celebrating what many hope will bring economic vitality and wider attention to their town of approximately 25,000 people, which notably lacks a railway station 1. In local pubs, where pints cost between £2.20 and £2.50—significantly cheaper than London prices—bar staff recounted unique historical ties, including Ray Curtis stating that Fleetwood’s first home kit was gifted by Arsenal 1. Paul Dagger, another local, had placed a £200 bet on an Arsenal victory during halftime, underscoring the improbable nature of the final outcome 1.
