Carling Cup Semi-Final First Leg Result 12th January 2011

Ipswich Town 1-0 Arsenal
Arsenal really were quite dreadful as they failed to beat a Championship club for the second time in two days. And this time it wasn’t a high-flying club like Leeds United, it was a club in a relegation battle. Well done to Ipswich on a deserved win but I really hope I won't be saying that again after the second leg.
Troy Brown missed out for Ipswich with a hamstring injury.
Aaron Ramsey was an unused substitute for Arsenal. Maybe he should have played. He played against Ipswich a few weeks ago with Nottingham Forest – and Forest won.
