Unstoppable Arsenal crush Brighton to cap perfect month and secure remarkable October record | OneFootball

Arsenal swatted aside Brighton & Hove Albion at the Emirates Stadium to book their place in the quarter-final of the League Cup last night.

Goals from Ethan Nwaneri and Bukayo Saka fired the Gunners through to the last eight.

According to Opta, Arsenal are the first English top-flight team in history to play six games in a month and win them all without conceding a single goal.

This incredible record is one that everyone at the club should be proud of. The month has been perfect for Arsenal from back to front.

Mikel Arteta’s side started with a pair of 2-0 wins against Olympiacos in the Champions League opener and versus West Ham United in the Premier League.

Fulham proved stern opposition, but the Gunners still scaled through the challenge at Craven Cottage.

Next up was Atletico Madrid, arguably the biggest test of the run, but the Premier League giants claimed a 4-0 victory.

They also defeated Crystal Palace in the league to maintain their lead at the top of the table.

The victory over Brighton set up another meeting with the Eagles in the League Cup quarter-final.

After finishing runners-up in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons, Arsenal now sit top of the table and are the favourites to go one better.

Arteta’s men are playing with authority, balance and a cutting edge that suggests lessons from past heartbreaks have been well learned.

Alongside the Premier League charge, the League Cup should not be overlooked.

Winning silverware could inject the belief that Arsenal need to sustain their title push through the spring.

The competition presents a golden chance for Arteta to blend fringe players with regulars while maintaining the winning culture he has built.

Lifting the League Cup for the first time since 1993 could become the springboard that finally powers Arsenal to Premier League glory next May.
