Arsenal have made history following their 2-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion in the Carabao Cup.

Mikel Arteta made 10 changes to his side at the Emirates on Wednesday night – Eberechi Eze was the only player who kept his place. Teenagers like Max Dowman, Andre Harriman-Annous, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly all started.

It was a tough start for the Gunners, who made a few sloppy mistakes in the middle of the park. But Brighton couldn’t convert their chances, and they were punished for it in the end.

Goals from Nwaneri and Bukayo Saka sealed the win for the North Londoners, and by doing so, they have achieved something that no other team in English top-flight history has done before.

Arsenal set a new record after beating Brighton

Arsenal have had a fantastic start to the new season.

The Gunners are on top of the Premier League table right now, and they have won every single game in the Champions League and Carabao Cup as well.

October has been Arsenal’s most productive month of the season so far.

Arteta’s men have played six games this month and have won all six. That’s impressive on its own, but what makes it even better is the fact that they have kept clean sheets in all six games.

Zero goals conceded in six games across three different competitions in the same month is a stunning record, so much so that no other team in English top-flight history has done it before. (Opta)

Furthermore, this is the first time Arsenal have won six games on the bounce without conceding a goal since 2002 – 23 years ago.

Arsenal showed their biggest strength vs Brighton in the Carabao Cup

Arsenal don’t have a great recent record against Brighton, but they were still the favourites to win the game on Wednesday night.

However, when Arteta released his team sheet, some felt that he didn’t care about the Carabao Cup.

The Arsenal manager made 10 changes, started four teenagers and unleashed a defence that had never played together before.

On paper, that seemed like a recipe for disaster, but the Gunners’ incredible squad depth was on full display, and they got the job done.

Arsenal beating a tough side like Brighton with what was their second team shows just how incredible their squad is. The depth is their biggest strength and could help them go all the way in all four competitions.
