Gunners on way to Wembley

ARSENAL are on their way to Wembley, and in with a chance of ending their six-year wait for silverware, after seeing off the stubborn resistance of Ipswich Town in the Carling Cup semi-final last night.

Goals in the second half from Nicklas Bendtner, Laurent Koscielny and Cesc Fabregas made the scoreline look emphatic, but the Championship side held their own and held on to their first leg lead for over an hour at the Emirates before finally succumbing to the superior quality of Arsene Wenger’s side.

Gunners captain Fabregas said: “It is going to be a very difficult final but we will do our best because I think the fans deserve a trophy again. The goal was to get to the final but it was difficult. We have got to congratulate Ipswich for what they’ve done.
