00:00Semi-finalists last season, Arsenal target a place in the last eight of the Carabao Cup this time around.
00:07But so too did Brighton, despite the Seagulls having never been beyond this stage for 47 years.
00:14It is Brighton who get the action underway.
00:18Arsenal on a roll right now.
00:20Joglu winning it, well-funding Beliba, who will have an early hit.
00:24Down to make the save, goes Kepra Arrizabalaga for £20m from Nuremberg.
00:29And here he is on the ball as it breaks somewhat fortuitously for him.
00:32He has support from Ruter to take it on and force the save again from Arrizabalaga.
00:41Goalkeeper does get a glove on it, nearly came for Eza.
00:44Type of territory from which he scored at the weekend.
00:46He wasn't able to capitalise this time though.
00:48Instead Ruter leads the charge and slips it through for Simas.
00:51Another big chance for Brighton and that one goes wide.
00:58Simas will keep on trying.
00:59Keep on putting himself in positions to profit.
01:01Now Ruter taking over.
01:04And there is plenty of space here for the shot.
01:07Which brings another save from Arrizabalaga.
01:11As he takes Cadioglu out of it.
01:13Nickel Marino.
01:15Lovely here for Luis Skelly.
01:17And in!
01:18Ethan Warneri.
01:22Arsenal have found a way.
01:25After that patient period of probing pressure.
01:29They come up with a quality in the builder.
01:32And they come up with a game's opening goal just before the hour.
01:35And here they come now with Timber.
01:37Look at the ground that he has covered.
01:38Slips it through towards Harry Manonus.
01:41Denied his moment but Saka will score.
01:45And it might just settle it.
01:47A second for Arsenal.
01:49And the Premier League leaders well on course now for the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup.
01:56Again looking to unwind another one.
01:59And Leandro Trossard.
02:02And Trossard nearly having the final say against his former side.
02:06Back off the post it comes.
02:08And Rice to assume the responsibility.
02:11As he has done for most of their season.
02:13Brought on late today.
02:15Rops it in towards that far post.
02:18That is full time.
02:20And it is onwards for Arsenal.
02:22In the Carabao Cup.
02:24They maintain the momentum.
02:25They are making the difficult look routine right now are Mikel Arteta's team.
02:30Eight consecutive victories in all competitions.
02:34No goals conceded in the last six of them.
02:36They certainly had to survive a few scares in this one.
