Arsenal's semi-final record under manager Mikel Arteta has not made for pretty reading. But, after failing to win even one leg in their previous four two-legged semis, Arsenal's 3-2 win at Chelsea in the Carabao Cup has moved them one game away from a first major final since their FA Cup triumph in 2020. Arteta's side have been excellent this season - top of both the Premier League and Champions League, and through to the FA Cup fourth round. "But in that moment they had an action, they created a corner, they scored a goal and it's game on. So that feeling is not perfect but as well we have to value what the team has done again."
