LONDON — Arsenal secured their first appearance in a final since 2020 with a 1–0 win at home to Chelsea in Tuesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg.
Three weeks on from the entertaining 3–2 win for the visitors at Stamford Bridge in the first half of the tie, it was a game of defiantly little drama in N5 until Kai Havertz, one of several former Chelsea players on Arsenal’s books, rounded David Sánchez in the seventh minute of second-half stoppage time.
