Burnley beat misfiring Arsenal

Burnley 2 Arenal 0. Arsenal's young team of stars were dumped out of the Carling Cup quarter-final at Turf Moor last night thanks to two goals by the Championship side's Kevin McDonald. "Arsene Wenger criticised his misfiring forwards for squandering the opportunities to put Arsenal in the Carling Cup semi-finals as McDonald inspired Burnley to a shock victory at Turf Moor," reports the Guardian. "While Arsenal's profligacy saw them squander at least six clear-cut openings, McDonald took the two that came his way with all the composure his opponents had so badly lacked."
