Liam Rosenior said he is “lucky” after substitute Alejandro Garnacho struck twice to keep Chelsea’s Carabao Cup hopes alive despite a 3-2 opening-leg semi-final defeat to Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea looked down and out in the tie when Ben White headed home a corner after just seven minutes before Viktor Gyokeres ended his 10-match drought from open play to double the visitors’ advantage shortly after the interval.
