Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior voiced his displeasure over Arsenal's conduct before Tuesday's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg. Rosenior accused Arsenal of a "lack of respect" after their pre-match warm-up encroached into Chelsea's designated half at the Emirates Stadium. Television cameras captured the Chelsea boss visibly angry, shouting at an Arsenal staff member to "stay in your half" during the incident.
Speaking on Thursday, Rosenior explained that "certain etiquettes in football" should be observed. He clarified that the issue was not with Arsenal players, but with staff affecting his team's preparation. Rosenior stated, "They were affecting my lads' warm-up and my staff's warm-up". Arsenal ultimately won the match 1-0 with a late Kai Havertz goal, securing a 4-2 aggregate victory to reach the final.
