Here comes the shootout, then. Chelsea's teenager Marcin Bulka will be in goal for Chelsea, while Chelsea's greatest ever goalkeeper will be in goal for Arsenal, Petr Cech. Danny Drinkwater up first...
Arsenal 0-1 Chelsea
Drinkwater blasts through Cech's gloves. The goalkeeper should have stopped that one, as powerful as it was.
Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea
Abraham buries it past Cech, finding the corner with pace.
Arsenal 2-2 Chelsea
Nelson drills one low, sending Bulka the wrong way in the process.
Arsenal 2-3 Chelsea
Moses might just have scored the coolest penalty of all time. Just takes one step and rolls it into the corner with Cech floundering.
Arsenal 3-4 Chelsea
Emerson fires one down the middle, just beating Cech's feet as he dived. No misses so far.
