With a goal from Havertz, Arsenal defeated Chelsea 1-0 in the second leg of the 2025/26 EFL Cup semi-final, securing their place in the final. England striker Eze stated that he believes the Gunners have the confidence to achieve their goal and will continue to fight.

The deadlock in this match was not broken until the last moments of the second half. Rice received the ball and passed it across to Havertz, who entered the penalty area, beat Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, and shot the ball into the empty net, giving Arsenal a 1-0 lead.

Arsenal ultimately defeated Chelsea 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium, advancing to the final with a 4-2 aggregate score.

"This is the club I've supported since I was a child, so winning and achieving things with Arsenal is incredibly important to me," said 27-year-old Eze after the match. "The players just want to give their all and perform to the best of their ability. I firmly believe that this day will come, and I believe we have enough confidence and the players' ability to do it. We will continue to fight."

It's worth mentioning that in last season's FA Cup final held at Wembley Stadium, Eze scored a goal for Crystal Palace, helping the team defeat Manchester City to win the championship.

When asked about playing at Wembley Stadium, Eze shared, "It's really special, it's a competition that players crave, a stage where they want to deliver their best performance. Just being there is a very special thing in itself."

In addition, Eze said, "We could see the energy in the whole stadium, the atmosphere brought by the fans was really amazing, and this was a special moment for us."

"The whole team performed exceptionally well. We gave it our all and played the game we were required to reach the final. Everyone put in a lot of effort, and everyone was exhausted by the end of the match. But this is the kind of game that players are willing to fight for."
