match<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The two midfielders, who were involved in a tactical battle throughout the evening, were witnessed in a heated exchange of words, which quickly escalated into a physical confrontation.<\/p>\n<p>Footage showed Fernandes looking particularly irate after being stopped by Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior as he attempted to confront the Spain international.<\/p>\n<p>The exact trigger of the altercation remains unclear, but the intensity of the match, which included several bookings and accusations of wasting time, clearly left a bitter taste.<\/p>\n<p>Zvimendi, whose 71st-minute shot was the winning goal, was ultimately sent off along with his team-mates, but the incident added to the personal rivalry in the upcoming second leg at the Emirates.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Garnachos_double_gives_Chelsea_a_chance_to_tie_the_score\"><\/span>Garnacho&#8217;s double gives Chelsea a chance to tie the score.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite the defeat and post-match altercation, Chelsea remain firmly in contention thanks to a second-half cameo from Alejandro Garnacho.<\/p>\n<p>With Arsenal looking well on their way to chasing goals from Ben White and Victor Gokeres, Rosenior has turned to his young winger to make a mark in his first home game as manager.<\/p>\n<p>Garnacho responded with clinical efficiency and scored twice to keep the Blues&#8217; Wembley dreams alive.<\/p>\n<p>The first goal came in the 57th minute after receiving a clever cross from Pedro Neto, and the second goal came in the 83rd minute when he half-volleyed a loose ball inside the box to make it 3-2.<\/p>\n<p>Zvimendi&#8217;s goal briefly restored Arsenal&#8217;s two-goal cushion, but Garnacho&#8217;s work ensured Chelsea only needed a one-point win in north London to force extra-time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End
