Arteta happy as Jesus scores hat-trick as Gunners reach Carabao Cup semis
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said after his team beat Crystal Palace 3-2 in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday that he was “delighted” to have reached the semi-finals. “We probably started the game the way we wanted to, conceding the first goal, but then we fought back and won. We didn’t play well in the first half, but after the changes we made in the second half, things looked better.”
Arteta said Gabriel Jesus, who scored a hat-trick in this game and scored at the Emirates Stadium for the first time in a year, was congratulatory for Jesus because he had not scored for a long time. Today he scored three goals by himself and in all different ways. Jesus looks very fit which is good for him and the team because we have another quality player coming back to help the team. He has helped the team a lot and is still a key player for Arsenal.
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glassner said that if we wanted to win this สมัคร ufabet game we had to play at top form but we couldn’t do it. However, he looked on the bright side that he still scored two goals. Scoring two goals at the Emirates Stadium should at least give them a chance to advance to the next round by a penalty shootout. Arsenal’s second goal should have been offside. Everyone saw it but there was no VAR to look at that point.
