Arsenal Squeeze Into Semi-Finals
Mikel Arteta's side endured a nervous night at the Emirates, failing to find their usual attacking rhythm but maintaining a disciplined defensive shape.
Captain Declan Rice played through illness to anchor the midfield, while the return of Eberechi Eze provided a much-needed spark.
The victory was tempered by a fresh injury blow to Noni Madueke, who limped off just days before a crucial Premier League title showdown with Manchester City.
Despite the unconvincing performance, Arsenal remains on track for a historic trophy double as they prepare for a difficult trip to the Etihad.
