Last night Arsenal was trailing in the beginning of the match but they came from behind and won the match against the Blues to reach the final against Manchester City on February 25th at Wembley.

In that match, Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger scored an own goal and then Granit Xhaka scored the winner for the Gunners.

 Football Pundit Andy Townsend voiced after that match: "It's a brilliant result,"

"They went behind, came back and did it that hard way.

"This is a fantastic boost for Arsenal, especially when the same questions about whether Arsene should have gone in the summer are still surfacing.

"On the back of Alexis Sanchez going it's a fantastic answer from the rest of the camp how united they are, how they believe in what they are doing and how good they can be.

"Whenever Arsenal play against Chelsea and win it's significant, so to do so in the semi-final of the League Cup is bonus territory."

Last night’s victory over Chelsea presents the chance to Arsene Wenger to life the cup for the first time in his prolonged 21 year stint at Arsenal.

Now to lift the first major silverware in this season Arsenal has to defeat the premier league leaders Manchester City in the final.

Andy Townsend believes that this season Arsenal has got the real chance to register this trophy to their name.

He added: "Serious Arsenal fans understand that this is one of the trophies they can go and win,"

"At the start of the season, even the staunchest of Arsenal fans would have thought they could win the league.

"So to be in the melting pot for the other major trophies is where they definitely are and where they should be. They are in another final and they can lay down a marker."
