Gabriel Jesus scored a second-half hat-trick as Arsenal staged an impressive fightback

Eddie Nketiah, sold to Palace from Arsenal in the summer, scored with five minutes remaining to provide his new employers with hope, but the Gunners held on to secure their last-four spot.
Mikel Arteta has overseen just one trophy in his five years in charge at Arsenal 2020 FA Cup triumph.
The Spaniard said ahead of Wednesday’s fixture that winning the Carabao Cup could provide a snowball effect for further glory.
The home side were staring at an underwhelming exit from the competition at half-time after Jean-Philippe Mateta’s opener for Palace inside just four minutes.
But Jesus, who had scored just once this season heading into Wednesday’s fixture, fired a treble in the second period with substitutes Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka both central to his haul.
Arsenal’s sole effort on target during a lacklustre opening period arrived on 31 minutes.
When Jesus was fouled on the edge of the area. Raheem Sterling’s ยูฟ่าเบท ensuing free-kick looked to be dipping under the Palace crossbar, only for Henderson to palm the forward’s effort away.
Arteta wasted no time in making changes at the break with both Odegaard and Saliba introduced.
And within five minutes of the restart, Arsenal should have been level. Tierney’s scrumptious ball across the six-yard box fell to an unmarked Sterling. Henderson saved Sterling’s first strike before he hit the rebound on to the bar.
