Danny Welbeck inspired a Brighton comeback over Arsenal as the Gunners suffered an early exit from the Carabao Cup. The Seagulls booked a place in the fourth round with a 3-1 win over Mikel Arteta's side at the Emirates Stadium.
Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring in the first-half with a well taken effort before Welbeck equalised from 12-yards after he was brought down by Karl Hein. Then, against the run of play, Kaoru Mitoma put Brighton ahead in the second-half and left the north Londoners chasing a goal with half an hour to play.
Tariq Lampty eventually put the final nail in the coffin later in the half after slotting the ball through the legs of the on-rushing Hein. While Arsenal may not have been at their strongest, Brighton continued their great vein of form under new boss Roberto De Zerbi.
