The Gunners had led from the first half when Nicolas Pepe slotted home a penalty after Alexandre Lacazette was fouled in the box by Chris Basham.
With just three minutes remaining, David McGoldrick scored an equalizer which looked to have ensured extra time, but Dani Ceballos scored a 91st-minute winner to see Arsenal through.
The final quarterfinal match between Newcastle and Manchester City will be played later on Sunday.
The semifinal draw will be conducted at the halftime.
