Arsenal vs Brighton live: Carabao Cup result and reaction

And you can follow all the latest as the quarter-final draw is made here:

At the same time – Liverpool are further mired in a 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Anfield, giving Arne Slott a growing sense of peril. Meanwhile, Chelsea enjoyed a thrilling seven-goal win against Wolves despite Liam Delap being sent off late and Manchester City came from behind to beat Swansea.

Newcastle look good to join the Premier League side in the last eight – they lead 2-0 away to Tottenham in the late clash.

Arsenal then went in search of silverware with another success and secured their quarter-final place. Mikel Arteta’s side didn’t exactly have things their own way, and Brighton would later look to capitalize on their missed chances on the trip to Sussex, but two neatly scored goals from Ethan Nwaneri and Bukayo Saka took the hosts through to the last eight.

Out of post! The action, perhaps unexpectedly, at the other end saw Leandro Trossard’s shot clip the dais before hitting the bottom of Jason Steele’s left-hand post.

Of all the teams in the country, you would find Arsenal almost impossible to let a two-goal lead slip away. Mikel Arteta is still exercising his mind as much on the touchline, as his side look to secure another clean sheet.

Five extra minutes to go.

Brighton are throwing bodies forward but this works against them in attack, with Stefanos Tzimas firing on goal but a swarm of players between him and Kepa in the Arsenal net appearing to feed on teammate Yankuba Minteh.

There was a blatant foul and kick on the ball by Olivier Boscagli, pushing Mikel Merino and then striking him with his right boot for the ill-gotten gain. A warning to the Brighton defender.

Danny Welbeck has been sent off against his former club as Brighton look for a late comeback, which is looking more and more unlikely.

Eberechi Eze has been replaced by Leandro Trossard.
