Summary
Arsenal have the advantage after the League Cup semi-final first leg. Marcus and David were treated to five goals in a slightly confusing night at Stamford Bridge.
We were left wondering whether Chelsea could buy ANOTHER goalkeeper and if Viktor Gyökeres was the correct choice for man of the match. Plus, Álvaro Arbeloa makes an awful start at Real Madrid.

| 0:04.6 | Arsenal win at the bridge, but the tie is still alive. |
| 0:07.8 | I'm Marcus Speller. |
| 0:09.1 | And I'm David Cartledge. |
| 0:25.3 | Well, hello everybody. |
| 0:26.9 | Lovely to have you with us. |
| 0:34.6 | Well, we are one leg deep into the Carabelle League Cup semifinals, David. |
| 0:38.6 | Tonight we witnessed Chelsea to Arsenal three. |
| 0:42.3 | More goals than what we saw at St. James's Park, of course. |
| 0:45.4 | An entertaining game at Stanford Bridge, I'd say. |
| 0:46.9 | Yeah, proper cup of tie. |
| 0:49.5 | Had everything, I think, just about. |
| 0:50.7 | Had a bit of quality. |
| 0:53.9 | Had some, you know, a bit of sloppy player, but so what? |
| 1:14.2 | We got a good cup tie. It was really, really entertaining, I thought. Yeah. Liam Razinia, of course, in the dugout for Chelsea. This is his, was his first proper test. Well, the biggest test he can have, really, in terms of domestic competition. Obviously, Chalt was pretty straightforward for starters. But coming to town you can't you can't mess around how do you think he's feeling right now is he is he slightly relieved that they're in the time |
| 1:19.8 | will he be a bit disappointed at the manner of some of those goals because you mentioned a bit of |
| 1:23.6 | sloppy play well we'll have to talk about that in more detail in a minute yeah we'll go on to that but yeah I think a mix of emotions I think he'll be a bit of sloppy play.

But I thought they showed a bit of character and they showed a bit of fight late on. I think their heads could have quite easily dropped. We've seen it from teams before. Their heads drop when they go down. They're a couple of goals behind. But they kept scrapping away. They kept fighting and one of Rossini's changes paid off straight away pretty much with Gar Nacho. So yeah, I think he can take a lot from this game, to be honest with you. |
| 2:03.5 | Yeah, okay. |
| 2:04.1 | Well, he's lost his first game, of course, as Chelsea manager. |
| 2:07.2 | But I think, you know, that might be a touch harsh. |
| 2:10.4 | Just kind of just leave it there. |
| 2:12.6 | His picture was on the front cover of the Match Day magazine. |
