‎Arsenal has reached the League Cup final for the first time in eight years as Kai Havertz sealed a 1-0 win against Chelsea in the semi-final second leg.‎

‎Mikel Arteta’s side had put themselves in pole position in the first leg and Havertz came off the bench to finish the job in the closing moments at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday‎

‎It was a major triumph for the Gunners, who had lost their previous four semi-finals in the 2025 Champions League and League Cup, the 2022 League Cup and the 2021 Europa League.

‎In their first final for six years, Arsenal will face either Manchester City or Newcastle at Wembley on the 22nd of March

‎City hold a 2-0 lead over Newcastle ahead of Wednesday’s second leg at the Etihad Stadium.

‎Arsenal haven’t won the League Cup since 1993, losing in their last three final appearances.

‎They have the chance to end that drought by winning the club’s first trophy since the 2020 FA Cup.
