Arsenal show that there’s life after Alexis Sanchez

Arsenal 2 Chelsea (Arsenal win 2-1 on aggregate)

Arsene Wenger’s side produced an admirable comeback after going 1-0 down to an Eden Hazard strike after only seven minutes at the Emirates to win 2-1 and earn a place against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley on Sunday February 25.

But both their goals, one put into his own net by Antonio Rudiger and the other deflected off the same player into the path of match-winner Granit Xhaka, came courtesy of the footballing gods.
