Carling Cup review - Tues 25th Jan

Arsenal beat Ipswich Town 3-0 to win through to the Carling Cup final at Wembley.

Arsenal were trailing 1-0 from the first leg and found it tough going in the first half against the plucky Championship side.
However the Gunners turned the tie on its head with two goals in four minutes just after the hour
Aggregate Victory
A quick ball from Jack Wilshere out to the left was brought down superbly by Nicklas Bendtner who then cut inside with a deft backheel before curling a low shot into the bottom right corner after 61 minutes.
Three minutes later it was 2-0. Marton Fulop came to punch a left-wing corner from Andrey Arshavin, but got nowhere near the ball as Laurent Koscielny headed in from six yards.
Arshavin set up Fabregas to fire the third from the left of goal 13 minutes from time.
It was enough to complete a 3-1 aggregate victory and put Arsene Wenger's men through to Wembley where they will meet either Birmingham City or West Ham United on 27th February.
