Arsenal's wait is finally over as the 'nearly men' tag appears to be shed after their thrilling 4-2 aggregate victory over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup semi-final. The Gunners' hard-fought win, which came courtesy of Kai Havertz's injury-time goal, has sent shockwaves through the football world and cemented their place in the EFL Cup final.
The victory marks a major milestone for Mikel Arteta's side, who had reached four semi-finals under his management without securing a single trophy. The result is also a significant boost to Arsenal's Premier League title hopes, with the team now six points clear at the top of the table.
For Arteta and his players, the win has been a long time coming. They have faced intense pressure in recent years, with many expecting them to deliver silverware after a decade without success. However, this victory has shown that Arsenal are more than capable of competing at the highest level.
The win has also sparked hopes of a quadruple for the Gunners, although Arteta is unlikely to be speaking about such ambitions just yet. Nevertheless, the momentum is now building behind the team, and with seven weeks to go until the Champions League final, the stage is set for Arsenal to make a major impact on the domestic and European fronts.
The EFL Cup final against either Manchester City or Newcastle will be their next challenge, but with the squad looking strong and the team's morale boosted after this win, many believe that they have the ingredients to go all the way. Whether or not they can silence the 'nearly men' tag once and for all remains to be seen, but one thing is certain - Arsenal are back in the hunt for major silverware.

. And that last-minute goal from Havertz? Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it was somehow manipulated to ensure the win 
. The whole thing feels too good to be true... and honestly, it probably is 
.
like he's been there 4 years now n still never had a trophy 2 show 4 it... but i guess the fact that they finally broke through is kinda sweet 
. annd yeah, havertz's injury-time goal was insane!
