Four members of Arsenal's Hale End academy production line started in their 2-0 EFL Cup win over Brighton.
The Gunners eased into the quarterfinals via two goals made and finished off by homegrown products as Ethan Nwaneri found a second-half breakthrough - assisted by Myles Lewis-Skelly - and Bukayo Saka came off the bench to seal the result.
Alongside Saka, Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly, there was also a record breaking showing for rising star Max Dowman, and a first-ever senior appearance for 17-year-old Andre Harriman-Annous.
Dowman has already caught the eye this season - after becoming the second-youngest player to represent the club and play in the Premier League - with Nwaneri holding both records.
His start against the Seagulls - aged 15 years and 302 days old - made him youngest to start a match for Arsenal, but Nwaneri also took his chance.
At 18, the England U21 international almost feels like a veteran compared to Dowman, and his progress has stalled in recent months.

Injuries, new signings and Saka's form have all played a part in Nwaneri slipping down Arteta's pecking order after bursting onto the scene in 2023.
He made 24 Premier League appearances last season, but with just 11 as a starter, and netted four goals - plus five more in the EFL Cup and Champions League combined.
Despite looking set as the first choice alternative for Saka, Arteta claimed Nwaneri must now accept the situation and impress in the limited game time he's given.
"He came on the other day as well and he's going to have those chances, and when he does, he needs to make the most out of it. I think he took the goal really well," he said.
Nwaneri has played just 145 minutes of Premier League action so far this season - all as a substitute - ahead of Arteta's league leaders going to Burnley on November 2.
