London's "Arsenal" reached the semifinals of the English League Cup ("Carabao Cup").

In the quarterfinals, only after extra time did the "Gunners" manage to overcome their city neighbors "Crystal Palace." The regular time ended with a score of 1:1, and in the penalty shootout, "Arsenal" scored 8 accurate penalties against 7 from the opponents.

The goals in the match came late. In the 80th minute, the guest defender Maxence Lacroix scored an own goal.

In added time, Marc Guehi equalized the score.

During the penalty shootout, there were as many as 15 accurate strikes. However, the Frenchman Lacroix shot inaccurately, and his shot was saved by Kepa.

In the semifinals, "Arsenal" will play against the "Chelsea" team. "Newcastle" will face "Man City" in a two-match series.
