1-0 and we are in the last 8 of the League Cup. The victory was marred by the injury of Sissoko. We are going to miss him. Get well soon. We were always in control if not playing superb football, Fowler and Bellamy both missed great chances. At the end the defense played well to keep the clean sheet. Amazingly, this is the first match we win away in England soil. So bring on Arsenal.
