Arsenal'sHale End graduates rose to wake the Gunners from their slumber and seal a place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
After a tepid first half which Brighton should have profited from, squandering a couple of clear-cut chances at goal, the Gunners kicked back into their usual gears in the second period to see off Brighton via strikes from Ethan Nwaneri and Bukayo Saka.
Nwaneri neatly finished into the corner after a crisp pass by Myles Lewis-Skelly, before substitute Saka added a second goal, on a night featuring four of Arsenal’s academy products in the starting line-up.
