🚨 Arsenal beat Palace and reach League Cup semi-finals | OneFootball

The Gunners are right on time.

This Tuesday evening, Arsenal hosted Crystal Palace in the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

Determined to reach the final four, the Gunners started the match at full throttle, creating numerous chances but failing to break through. This was largely due to Walter Benitez, who was in outstanding form.

Less energetic in the second half, Mikel Arteta’s men finally managed to break the Eagles’ defense thanks to an own goal by Maxence Lacroix... from a set piece in the 80th minute.

If the Gunners thought they had secured the win, Crystal Palace managed to equalize with a deflection from their captain Marc Guéhi in the 95th minute.

This goal sent both teams into a nerve-wracking penalty shootout, which ended with a miss from... Maxence Lacroix.

So it’s Arsenal who qualify and join Chelsea in the semi-finals. As a reminder, the other semi-final is a clash between Manchester City and Newcastle.
