LONDON (AP) – Arsenal will face Chelsea in the English League Cup semi-finals after defeating Crystal Palace 8-7 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in regular time on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Kepa Arrizabalaga saved Maxence Lacroix’s spot-kick to seal a penalty shootout victory at the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n

Lacroix’s own goal put Arsenal ahead in the 80th minute, before Marc Guehi equalized for Palace just before stoppage time.<\/p>\n

Manchester City will face defending champions Newcastle in the other semi-final.<\/p>\n

Arsenal took the lead after Palace failed to clear Bukayo Saka’s corner kick. LaCroix sent the ball flying over the line and shook his head in disbelief.<\/p>\n

Five minutes into stoppage time, Jefferson Lerma headed home and Adam Wharton’s free kick was taken by Guehi, who slotted it into the goal.<\/p>\n

The penalty taker was perfect until Lacroix’s goal. Arrizabalaga dove with a right to stop it.<\/p>\n

“We created a lot (of chances). We should have scored more goals than we scored,” Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta told Sky Sports. \u201cOverall, I\u2019m really happy to get another win.\u201d<\/p>\n
