Arsenal 3 Tottenham 1, aet (Agg: 5-3): Supposedly, you don't win anything with kids. But Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger certainly intends to give it a decent go in the Carling Cup this season.
The young Gunners proved age is no barrier if you are good enough as they dug deep to see off London rivals Tottenham after extra-time at the Emirates Stadium and book a place in next month's final against Chelsea.
Only three of tonight's starting XI were over 25, proving the future is indeed bright for Wenger's squad.
But this was no easy ride against a determined Spurs side - but one which ultimately did not have the technical ability or resilience to make the most of their chances, having blown a 2-0 lead in last week's first leg.
Emmanuel Adebayor's clinical finish after 77 minutes looked to have put the hosts through - only for substitute Mido to breath life back into the tie with a late header and force extra-time.
Jeremie Aliadiere then punished a terrible mistake by Ricardo Rocha at the end of the first period and an own goal by Pascal Chimbonda, following tremendous work from Tomas Rosicky, secured the Gunners safe passage to Cardiff.
