CARABAO CUP SEMI-FINAL : ARSENAL VS CHELSEA – 03/02/2026 (PHOTO – KAI HAVERTZ CELEBRATES!)

WATCH ALL THE HIGHLIGHTS HERE AS KAI HAVERTZ FIRES ARSENAL TO WEMBLEY IN STOPPAGE TIME THRILLER AT 90 +7 MINS! WHAT AN EVENING OF FOOTBALL THIS WAS LAST NIGHT! TWO TIPPETY-TOP TEAMS, KEEPING EVERYONE ON THE EDGE-OF-THEIR-SEATS ABOUT WHO WAS GOING TO SCORE FIRST, WITH BOTH DEFENDING SO WELL THAT IT TOOK UNTIL THE 97TH MINUTE AND KAI HAVERTZ’S STUNNER TO DECIDE THE OUTCOME! AS ARSENAL WERE ALREADY 3 – 2 UP ON AGGREGATE, YOU COULD SEE THAT CHELSEA WERE TRYING THEIR VERY BEST, HAVING 5 CORNERS, (55% POSSESSION), AND 11 SHOTS WITH 2 ON-TARGET BUT EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE EXTREMELY WELL-ORGANISED – SO WERE ARSENAL, AND THERE WERE NO GOALS FOR CHELSEA ON THIS OCCASION. ARSENAL HAD 2 CORNERS, AND 6 SHOTS WITH 2 ON-TARGET INCLUDING KAI HAVERTZ’S LATE STUNNER WHICH MIKEL ARTETA DESCRIBES AS A ‘FAIRYTALE’ GOAL (BELOW), MEANING THAT ARSENAL ARE NOW INTO THE FINAL OF THE CARABAO CUP AT WEMBLEY STADIUM (THEIR FIRST LEAGUE CUP FINAL SINCE 2018) AND WILL PLAY THE WINNER OF THE MAN CITY VS NEWCASTLE UNITED MATCH SEMI-FINAL WHICH TAKES PLACE TONIGHT!  EXCITING TIMES! STAY TUNED FOR THAT MATCH TOO!
