Arsenal beat Palace on penalties to reach League Cup semi-finals
- On Tuesday, Arsenal edged past Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium in London to reach the League Cup semi-finals after a 1-1 draw sent the tie to penalties where Kepa Arrizabalaga saved Maxence Lacroix's spot kick to seal an 8-7 victory.
- Lacroix's 80th-minute own goal put Arsenal ahead, but Marc Guehi levelled in the fifth of nine added minutes, forcing penalties after a 1-1 draw.
- With 80 per cent possession, Arsenal dominated the game but Walter Benitez kept Palace alive with a string of fine saves, twice denying Noni Madueke and blocking Gabriel Jesus' header in his first start in 345 days.
- Arsenal will now take on Chelsea over two legs for a Wembley place, with the first leg at Stamford Bridge on January 14 and the return at the Emirates Stadium on February 3; Manchester City face holders Newcastle in the other semi-final.
- Lifting the League Cup in March would be a significant boost for Arsenal, who seek their first trophy since 2020, after a fixture delay caused by Palace's UEFA commitments.
