Arsene Wenger praised Albion performance after Arsenal’s FA Cup victory at The Amex.

The Gunners were twice pegged back by the Seagulls before substitute Theo Walcott hit a late winner to give them a 3-2 success.

Wenger said: “Brighton are a good team. They made it very difficult for us.

“We had a little bit of a slow start, they were sharper than us in the first half. In the second half we were much more in the game and created chances.

“They play a game which is very positive, technical game. They had a great spirit today, especially on the right flank they gave us many problems.

“In the end we had that little bit of extra quality that got us through.”
