London, Feb 4 || Kai Havertz netted a dramatic late winner as Arsenal reached the Carabao Cup final with a 4-2 aggregate victory over Chelsea.
Goals from Viktor Gyokeres, Ben White and Martin Zubimendi gave the gunners a one-goal lead going into the second leg clash, which saw precious few chances at Emirates Stadium.
But as the visitors looked for a late goal, gunners broke away, and it was former Chelsea man Havertz who rounded Robert Sanchez to give us a 1-0 win and send Arsenal to Wembley for their first Carabao Cup final in eight years.
Carrying a 3-2 advantage from the first leg, the Gunners began confidently at the Emirates Stadium, dictating early tempo and territory.
But with Chelsea setting up in a compact back five, clear openings were limited during a cagey first hour.
Blues boss Liam Rosenior looked to inject a spark by introducing Estevao and Cole Palmer, yet Arsenal’s defensive organisation stood firm as they absorbed the visitors’ growing pressure.
And in the dying moments, the decisive moment arrived.
