Arsenal made hard work of dispatching Blackpool in the Carabao Cup but the Gunners progressed as both sides finished with 10 men at the Emirates Stadium.
The hosts appeared to be coasting after Stephan Lichtsteiner's first goal for the club was added to by Emile Smith Rowe.
But Blackpool rallied and, after Matteo Guendouzi had been sent off for two fouls on Jordan Thompson, Paudie O'Connor reduced the arrears before also being dismissed as Arsenal secured a narrow 2-1 victory.
