Arsenal, Newcastle and Liverpool progressed to the semi-finals of the English League Cup on Wednesday night.
Arsenal , Newcastle and Liverpool advanced on Wednesday in the English League Cup, which will boast plenty of power and prestige in its semi-final stage. Gabriel Jesus scored a hat-trick, including a crucial second goal from an offside position, and Arsenal overcame 3-2 to Crystal Palace to advance to the last four for the first time since the 2021-22 season. Liverpool kept their title defense alive with a 2-1 win at Southampton.
Uruguay's Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott were the goalscorers in the first half for the Premier League and Champions League leaders. Newcastle defeated Brentford 3-1 thanks largely to two first-half goals from Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali, advancing to the semi-finals for the second time in three seasons. The northeast London club, controlled by Saudi Arabia and which has not won a major trophy since 1955, lost the League Cup final to Manchester United in 2023. United visit Tottenham on Thursday in the last quarter-final match, guaranteeing that the semi-finals will feature four of the country's biggest teams. Jesus had only scored one goal in 20 appearances in all competitions this season. That goal also came in the English League Cup, against second-division Preston in October. So Jesus' first hat-trick for Arsenal came as a surprise, as was the quality of his finishes. There was luck for Jesus too. Replays showed he was offside when he advanced to score the goal that put them 2-1 ahead in the 73rd minute at the Emirates Stadium. However, there is no video review until the semi-finals of the competition, so the goal was not disallowed. Jesus had equalised at 54 with an excellent touch, flicking the ball over goalkeeper Dean Henderson
