Sunday evening at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal put in a dominant display to return to winning ways as they disabled Brighton every machine parts.
The Gunners were well-beaten by Brighton in the corresponding fixture last season, all-but ending their Premier League title charge in the process.
Today’s 2-0 victory in an entertaining contest – coming after defeat at Aston Villa eight days ago – would have helped banish some of the ghosts of that defeat while keeping Mikel Arteta’s side very much in the mix at the top of the table.

Gabriel Jesus’ all-round game was exceptional throughout but it was his back-post header from close-range that broke the deadlock, before a cool Kai Havertz finish wrapped up the three points for Arsenal .
With this score line, Arsenal become the first team to prevent Brighton scoring in a league game this season.
Brighton’s best chance of the afternoon fell to Pascal Gross with eight minutes to go. But he could only turn Kaoru Mitoma’s low centre pass wide when presented with a huge opportunity to equalise.
Soon afterwards, the points were secured by Havertz, the Germany international finishing with aplomb after being slipped in by substitute Eddie Nketiah as Arsenal eased through the remaining minutes to secure victory.
