Arsenal Advances to Carabao Cup Semi-Finals

Arsenal secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace to reach the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, thanks to a second-half hat-trick from Gabriel Jesus. The Gunners found themselves trailing early after Jean-Philippe Mateta scored for Palace within four minutes. However, Jesus turned the match around, scoring three goals in just 27 minutes, with assists from Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka. Palace managed to pull one back through former Arsenal player Eddie Nketiah in the 85th minute, but Arsenal held on for the win. This victory is crucial for manager Mikel Arteta, who aims to build momentum after a disappointing start to the season. The draw for the semi-finals will take place on Thursday night.
