The Gunners wrapped up the game with a 3-0 lead, thanks to goals by Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Eddie Nketiah before Kaoru Mitoma pulled one back.
Gabriel Martinelli added his side's fourth before Evan Ferguson scored Brighton's second to seal the 4-2 Seagulls' defeat.
Arsenal are back in action against Newcastle United on Tuesday, with an increasingly formidable-looking lead over champions City with both sides having played 16 games.
