Arsenal's young stars were upstaged by Burnley's own talented rookie as Kevin McDonald gave the Championship club a shock 2-0 win in the League Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday.

Gunners manager Arsene Wenger kept faith with the precocious teenagers who routed Wigan in the previous round. But his side, who had an average age of 19, came unstuck in freezing conditions at Turf Moor and failed to reach at least the semi-finals for the first time in four years.

They were dumped out by McDonald, a 20-year-old Scottish midfielder signed from Dundee in pre-season.

McDonald struck early in the first half and added his second after the interval as Owen Coyle's team followed their wins over Chelsea and Fulham earlier in the competition with another famous scalp to reach the semi-finals.
