Arsenal come from behind to reach quarter finals of League Cup

Arsenal had to come from behind to reach the quarter finals of the Carling Cup. Goals from Arshavin and Park secured the Gunners passage to the next round of the cup after beating Bolton 2-1 at the Emirates on Tuesday night. Arsenal's most experienced players carried them over the line as Vermaelen returned from injury to captain the side; he was partnered by Squillaci who also returned from injury. Nico Yennaris who started and Daniel Boateng who came off the bench both made their first team debuts.

Ju Young Park (Middle) scored the winner for Arsenal

Arsenal managed to create the first chance of the game as Park cut inside from the left hand side and drove a shot from outside the box which tested Bogdan in the Bolton goal but it was kept out.

The Gunners were applying the early pressure and Yossi Benayoun managed to create a chance as he cut inside but curled his shot wide of the post.

Their next chance came from a freekick as Arshavin layed Vermaelen off on the edge of the area who struck a fierce effort towards goal which was parmed away by Bogdan.

Bogdan was then tested again as Arshavin found Park on the edge of the box. He then tried to pass the ball into the back of the net but he slipped in the attempt and he scuffed his shot but Bogdan was still forced to make a diving save to his left.

The score at half time was 0-0.

Ryo comes on for Oxlade-Chamblerlain

Two minutes into the second half Bolton took the lead through former Arsenal man, Fabrice Muamba. Muamba won the ball back off Frimpong who then found Prately who played the ball back to Muamba who slid his shot into the roof of the net for 1-0 to Bolton.

Bolton were only ahead for 6 minutes as Andrey Arshavin equalised for Arsenal. The Russian was allowed to run at the defence and then poked a shot past the goalkeeper and into the goal.

Just three minutes later the Gunners were ahead. Arshavin once again ran at the defence and then played Ju Young Park in on goal who curled his shot into the back of the net to seal Arsenal's passage into the next round of the cup.

Bolton almost managed to grab an equaliser as Eagles drove a shot from range which Fabianski could only parm the ball away but almost into the back of his own net. Luckily for the Arsenal keeper the ball went over the bar.

The Trotters were now creating the chances and Klasnic went through on goal but Fabianski came out of his goal to save the shot.

Bolton then created another chance as Eagles swung in a corner which was met by the head of Cahill who saw his shot saved on the line by Fabianski.

The final score finished Arsenal 2-1 Bolton.
