GIFT OF THE GAB

GABRIEL JESUS netted a second-half hat-trick to fire Arsenal into the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.

Crystal Palace took an early lead through Jean-Philippe Mateta and deserved to be in front at the break against a side that saw eight changes.

Celtic target Kieran Tierney made his first Arsenal appearance since the 2023 Community Shield, finally making it on to a pitch following his horror injury at the Euros, only to be replaced after 65 minutes due to another.
