- Fleetwood Town's Carabao Cup fixture against Arsenal at Highbury was delayed by approximately eight minutes shortly after kick-off due to an unauthorised drone hovering above the pitch.
- Home club Fleetwood Town confirmed the drone was not recognised, prompting referee Michael Salisbury to suspend play to consult with both team managers and the ground safety officer.
- In the eighth minute of the match, referee Salisbury took the precaution of calling the players off the pitch for their safety.
- The drone subsequently flew away from the stadium sky, enabling the match to safely resume after the brief delay.
- Fleetwood then took a shock lead through Aaron Loupalo-Bi in the 21st minute.
