The Gunners have one foot in the final.
Continuation and end of the first leg semi-finals of the League Cup with this clash between Arsenal and Chelsea.
For Liam Rosenior's first derby on the Blues' bench, the English coach succumbed to the tactics of his Spanish counterpart.
Perfectly launched from the start of the match thanks to Ben White, who scored another goal from a corner (7'), the Gunners extended their lead through Viktor Gyökeres just after the break (49').
Chelsea still managed to narrow the gap thanks to substitute Alejandro Garnacho (57'), even though the Gunners eventually extended their lead again a few minutes later with a goal from Gabriel Martinelli (71').
However, Alejandro Garnacho continued his explosive performance with a brace in the 83rd minute, keeping Chelsea's hopes alive for a comeback at the Emirates Stadium in a few weeks.
After this Arsenal victory (2-3), who do you think will reach the League Cup final?
