Arsenal's superb Premier League season will not be replicated in the Capital One Cup, as the Gunners were eliminated by Sheffield Wednesday after a 3-0 loss.
Arsene Wenger's side was never comfortable on the pitch, making a couple of substitutions before the first half ended. One of those men to come off was Theo Walcott, who took Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's spot in the lineup after just five minutes of playing time.
The Gunners never seemed to get a break during the game, and Ross Wallace's go ahead goal confirmed the hosts' chances of making it to the next round.

Lucas Joao's header made it 2-0 for Sheffield before the first half concluded, while Sam Hutchinson scored the third goal for the hosts in a night that will not be forgotten soon.
Here's how fans reacted to Arsenal's baffling performance vs a lower division team.
You didn't just lose. You lost to Sheffield Wednesday. On a tuesday.

United fans took the 4-0 MK Dons loss on the chin,why cant Arsenal fans do the same with the Sheffield Wednesday game instead of deflecting?
