Arsenal vs. Ipswich

3-0 (aggregate 3-1), Carling Cup, Emirates, 25/1 -11
Bendtner 61,
Koscielny 64,
Fabregas 77

We are going to Wembley!

A comfortable win in the end but as the players stressed after the game, credit to Ipswich for keeping it level for over an hour. But then we clinched a spot in the final in two and a half minute!

For the first hour of the game the closest we got to scoring was when van Persie hit the bar with a header, but when we were past the hour mark Bendtner scored in style when he received a beautiful pass from Wilshere and then decided to cut inside from the left, and his shot was wonderfully taken!
Just barely two minutes later Koscielny gave us a spot in the final! He scored from a corner by Arshavin, a great header!
With thirteen minutes to go our skipper sealed the game, another pass from Arshavin gave Fabregas a golden opportunity to score, and he placed the ball between the legs of the outrushing Ipswich 'keeper.

So we have a final coming up by the end of next month!

Injury Update;
-18 minutes into the game Sagna got a concussion after clashing heads with Szczesny, but today he could leave the hospital and felt much better!
