<\/div>\nDeclan Rice endured a nightmare return to West Ham as Arsenal were dumped out of the Carabao Cup in the fourth round following a 3-1 defeat.<\/p>\n
Ben White headed an own goal past Aaron Ramsdale \u2013 playing his first club game since September \u2013 before Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen secured the win.<\/p>\n
Martin Odegaard scored a consolation for Arsenal deep into stoppage time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rice, a \u00a3105 million signing for Arsenal from West Ham in the summer, came on as a second-half substitute.<\/p>\n
But he could not stop his former club reaching the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n
West Ham took the lead from a corner in the 16th minute with Bowen swinging the ball in close to Ramsdale, before White nodded it past him.<\/p>\n
Tomas Soucek had hold of Ramsdale\u2019s shirt, but with no VAR at this stage of the League Cup, the complaints of the England international fell on deaf ears.<\/p>\n
Arsenal dominated possession but failed to break through in the first half. Eddie Nketiah skewed over their best chance from eight yards following Oleksandr Zinchenko\u2019s knock-down.<\/p>\n
And they were punished five minutes after the break when Kudus beautifully trapped Nayef Aguerd\u2019s 50-yard cross-field pass before finishing low through the legs of Gabriel and into the far bottom corner.<\/p>\n
West Ham\u2019s win was safe shortly before the hour when Bowen collected a poor defensive header from White and fired in a volley from the edge of the area, a deflection off Gabriel\u2019s thigh wrongfooting Ramsdale.<\/p>\n
Arsenal captain Odegaard slotted into the bottom corner with the final kick of the game, but the Gunners\u2019 30-year wait to win the League Cup goes on, while West Ham are into the last eight for the third successive season.<\/p>\n
