Arsenal footballers will play the record 21st final of the English Cup. With thirteen titles, the most successful team in the competition defeated the reigning Manchester City winner in today’s empty Wembley 2-0 semifinals, who will not defend last year’s championship even in the cup after the Premier League.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored both goals for Arsenal, who defeated Liverpool in the league three days ago. The Gabonese striker first asserted himself in the 19th minute from an angle after the center of Nicolas Pepé and in the 71st minute he added a fuse after escaping after the wing. The charges of coach Mikel Arteta, who worked in the camp of today’s opponent as an assistant to coach Pep Guardiola until last year, managed to end a seven-game series of defeats with City.
The tenth team in the Premier League table advanced from Manchester United, which will face Chelsea in the second semifinal on Sunday, as they progress to the 21st final, at least for a day in this statistic.
English Football Cup Semifinals:
