To be fair, his team did try to stay in their own half for most of the game.

Arsenal have reached the League Cup final for the ninth time. They've won it twice, the last time in 1993. None of the current squad was born the last time the Gunners lifted this trophy.

In a game where a clean sheet meant victory, Arsenal didn't concede an open play shot from inside the box from the 7th minute until the 97th minute.

20 – Arsenal recorded their 20th clean sheet in all competitions this season, only recording more in a campaign under Mikel Arteta in 2023-24 (23). Resolute.
