Arsenal welcomed Brighton and Hove Albion at the Emirates Stadium earlier tonight as they looked to secure a good result at home in the EFL Cup. The Gunners made a good start to the game but were held to a scoreless draw at the half-time interval.

Ethan Nwaneri finally broke the deadlock for the North London club in the 57th minute. Bukayo Saka came off the bench and doubled Arsenal’s advantage in the 76th minute as Mikel Arteta’s players ended up securing a solid 2-0 win at the Emirates.
