London, April 9:

Liverpool will play Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals for the third time in four years.

Steven Gerrard scored from the spot in the 85th minute and Ryan Babel added another in injury time to help Liverpool rally to beat Arsenal 4-2 on Tuesday in the second leg of the quarter-finals, sending the five-time champions into the next round 5-3 on aggregate.

Chelsea got goals from Michael Ballack and Frank Lampard in their 2-0 win over Fenerbahce, giving the Blues a 3-2 win on aggregate. The two English teams will meet in the semi-finals later this month.

Arsenal took the lead at Anfield when Abou Diaby scored from a tight angle in the 13th minute after some poor clearing shots by the Liverpool defense. Sami Hyypia then equalised for Liverpool in the 30th by getting away from Philippe Senderos and heading in a corner from Gerrard.

Fernando Torres put the hosts ahead in the 69th by controlling a long pass from goalkeeper Pepe Reina and turning to beat Manuel Almunia. Emmanuel Adebayor scored an equaliser for the Gunners in the 84th after a spectacular run down the right by Theo Walcott.

That would have been enough to send Arsenal through on away goals, but Gerrard scored from the spot a minute later after Kolo Toure pulled down Babel in the area. Babel added another in the second minute of injury time.

It was the third match between Arsenal and Liverpool in seven days. Besides the two legs of the Champions League, Liverpool drew 1-1 in the Premier League on Saturday.

Liverpool beat Chelsea in the Champions League semi-finals in 2005 and 2007, winning their fifth title in 2005. Ballack gave Chelsea the lead in the fourth minute by heading in a cross from Lampard from the right. Lampard scored the second off a cross from Michael Essien in the 87th. The result extended Chelsea’s home unbeaten streak in Europe to 11, a run dating back 26 months.

Chelsea, already playing without the injured Petr Cech, was forced to replace second-string goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini in the 26th with Hilario because of injury. Hilario made two good saves in the final 10 minutes, pushing away shots from Gokhan Gonul and Kazim Kazim. Fenerbahce, which hasn’t won away from home this season in the Champions League, was playing in the quarter-finals for the first time.
