Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was Arsenal’s English Football League (EFL) Cup quarter-final hero with the decisive penalty shoot-out save that completed a miserable evening for Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix on Tuesday.

Lacroix’s own goal put Arsenal ahead with 10 minutes left at the Emirates Stadium before Marc Guehi snatched Palace’s stoppage-time equaliser, sending the match to penalties. That set the stage for a shoot-out in which both teams scored their first seven penalties. William Saliba converted Arsenal’s eighth kick and Kepa dived to his right to save Lacroix’s effort and secure an 8-7 victory.
