What Arsenal fans did at full-time following Tottenham's penalty defeat to Colchester United

It was a night to remember for Arsenal as they cruised into the Carabao Cup fourth round.

The Gunners recorded a 5-0 victory over Nottingham Forest with a brace from Gabriel Martinelli, alongside efforts from Rob Holding, Joe Willock and Reiss Nelson seeing them through.

Being frank, it was exactly what the supporters needed after a nervy couple of weeks.

It was a game where the result was never in doubt and fans got a chance to watch their wealth of young stars in action, leaving them excited for what the future might hold.

But when supporters thought their evening couldn't get any better, news from elsewhere left the Emirates Stadium rocking.

While the Gunners were celebrating, their north London rivals Tottenham were facing a nerve-wracking penalty shootout in their Carabao Cup clash with Colchester United.

Despite dominating that match, Spurs found themselves on the wrong end of the scoreline as the League Two side won 4-3 in penalties.

As you can imagine this was music to the ears of the Arsenal supporters who let out a huge cheer when news of Tottenham's result was read out over the tannoy.

It may have only been a night in the Carabao Cup, but it was an evening which couldn't have gone much better for the Gunners.
