Arsenal won after a 4-1 penalty shoot-out win, following the 1-1 draw in 90 minutes.
City broke at pace and when Kieran Tierney lost the ball carelessly, De Bruyne's header found Palmer and he curled a sublime finish into the far corner from the edge of the area
It was a hugely fortunate goal as Trossard cut in from the right and hit his shot straight at Manuel Akanji, only for the ball to deflect off the City defender past the wrong-footed Stefan Ortega
De Bruyne hit the bar with City's first spot-kick and Rodri's effort was saved by Aaron Ramsdale, while Arsenal converted all four of their kicks
