Mikel Arteta Hails Arsenal for Staying Calm to Beat Crystal Palace on Penalities
Arsenal won 8-7 on penalties after a late equalizer by Crystal Palace, securing their semi-final place against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup quarter-final at the Emirates.
- On December 23, 2025, Arsenal advanced on penalties after a 1-1 draw, winning 8-7 at the Emirates Stadium as Kepa Arrizabalaga saved the decisive spot-kick.
- After a goalless first half, Arsenal broke the deadlock 10 minutes from the end when Maxence Lacroix put the ball into his own net from a Bukayo Saka corner involving Riccardo Calafiori and William Saliba.
- Palace hit back in the fifth minute of stoppage time with Jefferson Lerma nodding a corner and Marc Guehi squeezing their first shot on target between Arsenal goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga's legs.
- Progression to the semi-finals keeps Arsenal's busy schedule intact ahead of December 28, with manager Mikel Arteta noting the squad's performance every three days amid upcoming matches on December 28 and January 1.
- Arteta warned the margins for trophies are small after an uneasy victory, saying `You have to win in different situations and contexts` and `We had two very difficult games which we managed to win`; Glasner reported Chris Richards needed stitches after a foot knock.
