Kepa on home debut, clean sheet and victory

Kepa Arrizabalaga described his home debut as the perfect night as he helped us to a 2-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

The Spanish goalkeeper had to be at his very best during the contest at Emirates Stadium, making several important stops to keep our sixth successive clean sheet in all competitions.

Kepa denied Carlos Baleba from range before superbly saving Giorginio Rutter's effort when the forward was played through as the Seagulls looked to take an early lead.

The stopper denied Maxim De Cuyper in the second half before goals from Ethan Nwaneri and Bukayo Saka put us into the last eight of the tournament.
