THANK YOU TO OUR FANS & MERRY CHRISTMAS! OLIVER GLASNER & WALTER BENITEZ |ARSENAL 1-1 PALACE PEN 8-7

Описание: ‎"THANK YOU TO OUR FANS & MERRY CHRISTMAS! Hear directly from Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner and goalkeeper Walter Benitez after an unforgettable Carabao Cup quarter-final clash against Arsenal that ended 1-1 after 90 minutes (Arsenal win 8-7 on penalties).
‎Glasner said: 'Walter Benitez kept us in the game... On the other hand, I'm delighted with the second-half performance today, especially after the really bad first half. When you lose a game on penalties, you're always disappointed... It is always the case that in penalty shootouts one kick is the difference. Today we missed it but there is nobody to blame.'
‎The match was full of late drama: Maxence Lacroix's unfortunate own goal put Arsenal ahead in the 80th minute, only for captain Marc Guehi to equalize in stoppage time with a brilliant header, forcing one of the most high-quality penalty shootouts you'll see – 15 perfect pens before Kepa Arrizabalaga's heroic save from Lacroix sealed Arsenal's place in the semi-finals against Chelsea.
‎Walter Benitez was outstanding throughout, making multiple world-class saves to keep Palace in it. Despite the heartbreak, Glasner praised the team's character and second-half fightback.
