Sheffield Wednesday stuns Arsenal in one-sided League Cup match
London - In-form Arsenal were dumped out of the League Cup after a weakened team crashed to a damaging 3-0 defeat at second-tier Sheffield Wednesday in the fourth round on Tuesday.
Showing eight changes, Arsene Wenger's Arsenal were well beaten by Championship side Wednesday at Hillsborough and also lost Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott to injury.

Ross Wallace put Wednesday ahead after 27 minutes and then teed up Lucas Joao for the hosts' second goal shortly before half-time, with Sam Hutchinson completing victory early in the second period.
It was Wednesday's second Premier League scalp in this season's competition, following their third-round win at Newcastle United, and brought Arsenal's run of four successive victories to an end.
