Sky Sports were forced to repeatedly apologise after a hilarious X-rated interview with Fleetwood Town's victorious EFL Cup stars.

The League Two side pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the competition's history after defeating Premier League champions Arsenal on penalties following a 1-1 draw in normal time.

The Cod Army scored all of their five spot kicks, and Jay Lynch saved Bruno Guimaraes' penalty to ensure they progressed.

Lynch was then joined by Conor Haughey, who scored the match-winning effort, in a wholesome but hilarious post-match interview with Sky Sports.

When asked what was going through his head before the decisive moment, Haughey had a slip of the tongue as he said: 'I don't know.

> 'Pick my spot, hit top corner and run like f. It's just mental. The boys, I'm so proud of them. It just shows how good the team are.'

Touchline reporter Juliette Ferrington immediately apologised for the language, before she did so again at the end of the interview as Haughey awkwardly looked at her and the camera.

When the coverage went back to the studio, Sky Sports then apologised two more times for the language, leaving some fans confused.

Meanwhile, in the pitchside interview, Lynch, who also made several key saves in normal time, tried to put into words what the victory meant to him and his team-mates.

> 'My voice has gone from organising the defence,' he said. 'The whole team throughout the game was magnificent. To beat the English champions - credit to these lads.

> 'We took heart from Grimsby beating Man Utd last year. We kind of compared it.

> 'It was a typical night in Fleetwood. We were expecting a storm, we knew the conditions would be horrible, so we thought it might go in our favour.

> 'It's amazing for the club and the town. Honestly it means everything to everyone.'
