Capital One Cup Review : Arsenal edge Tottenham as Man United, Chelsea, Liverpool also win

Mathieu Flamini played the unlikely hero as Arsenal defeated Tottenham 2-1 in a North London Derby in the third round of the Capital One Cup on Tuesday.

Arsenal took the lead in the 26th minute to silence the White Hart Lane faithful.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain unleashed a shot from 20 yards out which Michel Vorm failed to hold, only succeeding in scooping the ball into the path of Flamini, who fired into the roof of the net from six yards out.

Harry Kane thought he had levelled four minutes after half-time, but his goal was correctly ruled out for offside.

The leveller did finally come in the 56th minute. Nacer Chadli tried to fire a ball across the six yard box, and Calum Chambers stuck out a toe and sent it past David Ospina.

And amazingly it was Flamini who scored again in the 77th minute, firing a wonderful volley from the edge of the area.

Newcastle were knocked out of the competition with a 1-0 defeat at home against Sheffield Wednesday.

Lewis McGugan scored for the Championship side in the 76th minute as Newcastle lost their fourth straight game.

Jay Rodriguez, Sadio Mane and Shane Long each scored twice as Southampton cruised past MK Dons 6-0.

Rodiguez provided an early lead sand Mane scored twice to give the Saints a big cushion by the 25th minute.

Rodriguez opened the second half with a penalty, and Long then found the net twice in an eight-minute span.

Norwich City ousted fellow Premier League side West Brom with a 3-0 win at Carrow Road.

Matt Jarvis opened the scoring in the 62nd minute, before Kyle Laffery scored late on and a Sebastien Pocognoli own goal added to the Baggies' misery.

Dwight Gayle scored a hat trick as Crystal Palace beat Charlton Athletic 4-1.

The Championship side held Palace goalless until the break, but Fraizer Campbell scored shortly afterward.

Gayle then scored his first of two penalties, but it was soon cancelled out by Mouhamadou-Naby Sarr's strike for the visitors.

Alou Diarra was then sent off for taking down Patrick Bamford in the box, and Gayle scored the resulting spot-kick, before finally scoring from open play in the 86th minute.
