"It was the best game I have ever watched".

These are the words of a 14-year-old Fleetwood fan, whose viewing point of Tuesday night's Carabao Cup match went viral on social media after being shown during Sky Sports coverage.

Morgan-Lee from Fleetwood in Lancashire, watched his club claim victory over Arsenal from the bedroom window of a family member's house as it overlooked the Highbury stadium.

Morgan-Lee, who has supported the team which sit 18th in League Two, for six years, said: "I was just very excited, because there were just loads of people chanting and screaming.

"I had the windows wide open so I could hear everything."

"I was very happy because Arsenal is in the Premier League and we had some adversity against them so it was very good we beat them," he added.

The teenager, who enjoys playing football himself, has been to a few matches with his dad, Sean.

He was shown during last night's match watching his team as they held a 1-1 draw against Premier League winners Arsenal before it went to the penalty shoot-out.

The camera panned out across the stadium before it zoomed in on the window where Morgan-Lee was watching.

Although he had tried to get tickets for the match, it was sold out. But after a family member moved into the house recently, he asked if he could watch the match from their home this week.

'Really excited'

"I was a bit nervous but as soon as Fleetwood scored I was very happy," he said.

"I thought Arsenal were going to beat us, but then I got really excited because we scored the first goal and I thought we were going to win.

"I've been to a few matches, but that is probably the best game I have ever watched," Morgan-Lee added.

His dad Sean said he had been sent screenshots during the match, but unfortunately there had been some negative comments on social media.

Fleetwood Town's win over Arsenal booked them their place in the Carabao Cup quarter-final thanks to their penalty shootout win.

Who they face will be decided in a draw on Wednesday night with the possibility of a trip to Anfield or the Etihad on the cards.
