Arsenal Edge Chelsea with Late Winner to Reach EFL Cup Final

Arsenal produced a thrilling late performance to defeat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and secure their place in the EFL Cup final. The Gunners showed resilience throughout the semi-final clash, sealing the victory deep into stoppage time and silencing the away crowd.
The win continues Arsenal’s impressive run against their London rivals this season. Chelsea have now struggled to overcome the Gunners, managing only a draw while suffering multiple defeats across competitions this season.

Earlier in the Premier League campaign, the two sides shared the spoils in a 1–1 draw at Stamford Bridge. However, Arsenal later outscored Chelsea in a high-intensity EFL Cup encounter, highlighting their attacking strength and tactical discipline.

Meanwhile, attention turns to the second semi-final, where Manchester City will host Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium. City holds a comfortable 2–0 advantage from the first leg, putting them in a strong position ahead of the decisive fixture.

The outcome of that match will determine who faces Arsenal in what promises to be an electrifying EFL Cup final, as the North London side aims to lift another major domestic trophy.
