Arsenal advanced into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup after defeating Leeds United 2-0 at the Emirates stadium on Tuesday night.

Chambers who came on for the injured Ben White in the 55th minute scored seconds later with a header from a corner.

And in another Carabao Cup tie on Tuesday, Sunderland also saw off Queens Park Rangers on penalties to qualify.

After playing goalless in regulation time, Sunderland went on to win 3-1 from the spot kick.
