Arsenal edged towards their first League Cup final since 2018 as they beat Chelsea 3-2 in the opening leg of their semi-final at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday. Ben White, Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi were all on target for Mikel Arteta's dominant side but a double from substitute Alejandro Garnacho kept Chelsea's hopes alive.
Arsenal fans were unimpressed with Ben White’s performance during the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final clash against Chelsea.
Viktor Gyokeres doubled Arsenal’s lead shortly after half time before Alejandro Garnacho pulled a goal back for Chelsea. Martin Zubimendi found the net to restore Arsenal’s two-goal advantage before Garnacho struck for a second time to hand Chelsea a lifeline ahead of the second leg at the Emirates Stadium on February 3.
Arsenal have the advantage after a EFL Cup semi-final first leg win against Chelsea but Garnacho's double gives Blues hope.
