Arsene Wenger's side suffered an embarrassing 3-0 defeat....

Away at Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup last 16 with injuries to key players compounding a frustrating night.

This month Arsenal have blown away Manchester United, they have humbled Bayern Munich... and now they have been embarrassed by Sheffield Wednesday.

Arsene Wenger's side suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat at Hillsborough on Tuesday night in the last 16 of the League Cup that could have ramifications far beyond their exit from the competition.

The League Cup is the lowest priority for the Gunners, but there is no silver lining when a side competing for the Premier League title are beaten so convincingly by a Championship club.

Wenger has spoken constantly about the improved mentality around the club, but this was the kind of night that sums up why many people are convinced that Arsenal will not win the title this season.

The next crisis is only ever around the corner. It could be a run of horrible results or a stack of injuries, but even the most optimistic supporter knows that it is coming.
