Several Port Vale stadium staff decided to trim the grass near Arsenal's penalty area at that moment, causing Ben White's shot to hit one of them in the leg.
During the warm-up, Bukayo Saka was spotted chatting with one of the stadium staff, simply shrugging his shoulders.
However, Arsenal did not allow these minor interruptions to affect their game against their League One opponent.
Mikel Arteta's team managed to take the lead in the eighth minute thanks to a goal from Eberechi Eze.
Arteta, having changed the team's lineup, still started the match with key player Saka.
New goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga made his first start for the side.
Commenting on his changed lineup, Arteta stated before the match:
“Yes, these are many players who will participate, and they absolutely deserve playing time.'
“Kepa is definitely one of them.”

How the team reacts to unexpected circumstances reflects their readiness for challenges and great potential in future games. Despite these minor glitches, Arsenal continues to prepare for more serious matches, moving confidently forward in the Carabao Cup tournament.
