He Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal He will not miss the semifinals of the Carabao Cup, the English League Cup. He Crystal Palace They advanced to Wednesday’s quarterfinal match at the Emirates, but the Gunners bounced back thanks to a hat trick from Gabriel Jesus (3-2). They also classified the Liverpool by Arne Slott (1-2 against Southampton) and the Eddie Howe’s Newcastle (3-1 to Brentford). This Thursday the Tottenham-Manchester United quarter-final will be held and then the draw for the semi-finals will be held.
The night started very badly for Arsenal. Jakub Kiwior misinterpreted a long ball and Jean-Philippe Mateta took advantage of a Gunner defender’s mistake to put Crystal Palace ahead in the 3rd minute Arsenal had to come back.
Ismaila Sarr was unable to take advantage of another Gunners mistake (this time by Gabriel Jesus), as David Raya managed to deflect the ball. Good start for Crystal Palace, who have gone 5 games without defeat.
Looking for a reaction, Arsenal had a chance thanks to Leandro Trosaard, but Maxence Lacroix left the ball. After a free-kick delivered by Raheem Sterling, Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson made an excellent save. Mikel Arteta’s team is playing well.
Henderson prevented another chance for Sterling, who collected the rebound and shot again, this time hitting the crossbar. And finally, in the 54th minute, Martin Odegaard (who entered the field after the break, like William Saliba) served a great ball that Gabriel Jesus took advantage of to level the match.
In the 73rd minute, Gabriel Jesus managed to put Arsenal ahead, assisted this time by Bukayo Saka. And Odegaard, whose entry into the field changed the game, was also the one to provide the Brazilian striker with the pass for the north London side’s third goal in the 81st minute. A former Arsenal player, Eddie Nketiah, closed the gap and his goal, in the 85th minute, took advantage of the ball from Nathaniel Clyne, the final 3-2. The Crystal Palace dream is over. Arsenal are in the semi-finals (the draw, this Thursday after Tottenham-Manchester United).
