Arsenal has advanced to the quarter-finals of the League Cup following a 2-0 victory over Brighton at the Emirates Stadium. The goals for the Gunners were scored by young talents Ethan Nwaneri and Bukayo Saka. Nwaneri found the net after a pass from fellow academy graduate Myles Lewis-Skelly, while Saka sealed the win by capitalizing on a rebound from a shot by 17-year-old Andre Herriman-Anous. Notably, Max Dowman made his debut, becoming Arsenal's youngest ever starter at just 15 years and 302 days old.

Despite Arsenal's dominance, Brighton had their share of opportunities, threatening the hosts' goal on several occasions. Georginio Rutter and Stefanos Tzimas missed good chances, and Jan Paul van Hecke failed to score from close range during a corner. Despite Brighton's 18 shots, Arsenal capitalized on their chances and secured their eighth consecutive win without conceding a goal.

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler expressed his disappointment over his team's missed opportunities, noting that a lack of efficiency in front of goal and defensive lapses were the main reasons for their defeat.

Analysis: Arsenal continues to impress with its young talents, showcasing the value of the club's academy. Brighton displayed fighting spirit, but their lack of precision in front of goal proved decisive. Arsenal's squad depth is evident, which could be crucial in navigating the long season ahead.
