Arsenal secured their place in the Carabao Cup final with a 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the second leg of their semi-final clash on Tuesday night.
The Gunners, who led 3-2 from the first leg, took an early lead through a set-piece goal from Ben White, which ultimately proved to be the winner. Chelsea, despite a spirited second-half performance, couldn't find a way back into the tie and will now focus on their Premier League campaign.
Arsenal's defence was praised for their outstanding performance, with manager Mikel Arteta hailing the team's resilience and determination. However, Arteta admitted that his side could have been more clinical in front of goal.
Chelsea, meanwhile, will be disappointed not to have pushed Arsenal all the way. Manager Frank Lampard praised his team's fighting spirit but admitted that they lacked the cutting edge in the final third.
The victory extends Arsenal's impressive run of form under Arteta, who has transformed the Gunners into one of the most exciting teams in the Premier League. The Carabao Cup final will provide another opportunity for Arsenal to add silverware to their cabinet, and they will be confident of going all the way.
