Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has told Max Dowman "we are not in Disneyland" and that he intends to hold the teenager to the same standards as other first-team players.

Dowman, 16, was sent off in the 85th minute of Arsenal's penalty shoot-out loss to Fleetwood Town in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday after reacting to a heavy challenge by Harrison Neal and will serve a three-match ban.
