Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea (agg 2-1): Gunners come from behind to book place at Wembley as Granit Xhaka pokes in to secure Carabao Cup semi-final victory

A goal and an assist. Not the worst night for Antonio Rudiger. Unfortunately…

The goal was Arsenal's first-half equaliser; the assist, their second-half winner. Not that Rudiger could have done much about either. They were hapless deflections, that is all, scruffy influence on what was often a scruffy game. Not that Arsenal were complaining.

This win takes them to Wembley again, for the first domestic cup final after their last visit in May. Manchester City will be favourites on the day, of course, but so were Chelsea over two legs here. Arsenal were decent value for their win, though, even if Chelsea will rue the chances missed in the first game.
