Carabao Cup: Gakpo’s double takes Liverpool into QF; Arsenal move past Preston North
After a goalless first half at Amex Stadium, Cody Gakpo broke the deadlock just seconds after the restart when he found the top corner with an unstoppable effort.
In a recent development, it is being reported that star Arsenal player Mesut Ozil has recovered from the foot injury which ruled him out against Everton and will be available for their away game against Bournemouth.
This implies that Mikel Arteta will be able to use his services in his first match as the manager of the Gunners.
Arteta had earlier labelled Ozil a “massive player” on Friday after he was announced as the new head coach of the team.
