Episode Notes
Arsenal survived a dramatic night at the Emirates, drawing late before beating Crystal Palace on penalties after nine minutes of stoppage-time chaos. Kepa Arrizabalaga dived to deny Maxence Lacroix's spot-kick to clinch the win and send Arsenal into the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
Key moments included Lacroix’s own goal from a Bukayo Saka corner, a stoppage-time equaliser by Marc Guéhi, and the game-changing introductions of Martin Ødegaard and Saka. Gabriel Jesus made his 100th Arsenal appearance during a high-pressure evening.
Arsenal now face Chelsea over two legs in the semi-finals, with Premier League fixtures against Brighton and Aston Villa coming up next as the squad builds momentum.
