Arsenal reached the League Cup final for the first time in eight years after Kai Havertz scored the only goal in a 1-0 win against Chelsea in the semi-final second leg on Tuesday night. The victory ends a run of disappointment for the Gunners, who had lost their previous four semi-finals in major competitions, including the 2025 Champions League and League Cup, the 2022 League Cup, and the 2021 Europa League.

The win guarantees Arsenal a place in their first final in six years, where they will face either Manchester City or Newcastle United at Wembley Stadium on March 22. Fans and players celebrated the hard-fought triumph as a boost to the club’s aspirations this season.
