Ethan Nwaneri and Bukayo Saka score second-half goals as a youthful Arsenal side beat Brighton to reach the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.

Ethan Nwaneri and Bukayo Saka both struck in the second half to secure Arsenal 's eighth consecutive victory with a 2-0 Carabao Cup fourth round win over Brighton at the Emirates Stadium.

Ethan Nwaneri put Arsenal ahead early in the second half and Bukayo Saka came off the bench to seal the win late on. Before both goals, it was Max Dowman that caught the eye on a night when he made history by becoming the youngest player ever to start a first-team game for Arsenal.

Brighton outshot Arsenal on the night, forcing Kepa into six saves. First-choice keeper David Raya has faced just five shots since September. It wasn’t entirely convincing, but Arteta can at least take solace from his side’s spot in the quarterfinals.

Brighton's bid to bounce back from a rare loss comes against a Leeds side hoping to build on a long-sought win at the Amex Stadium on Saturday.

Brighton's Michael Woodruff Municipal Service Center won the APWA's best structure award for medium communities.

Sky Sports have made a concerted effort in recent years to broadcast as many Carabao Cup ties as possible, and Arsenal’s fourth-round tie with Brighton will be shown on Sky Sports+ on Wednesday night. You can also listen on the radio via TalkSport.
