LONDON — Kepa Arrizabalaga was Arsenal's League Cup quarterfinal hero on Tuesday, making a decisive penalty shootout save that sent his side through to the semifinal and completed a miserable evening for Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix.

Lacroix's own goal put Arsenal ahead with 10 minutes left at the Emirates Stadium before Marc Guehi snatched Palace's stoppage-time equalizer in the 1-1 draw.
