Brighton 0-3 Arsenal: Gunners go top as Saka, Havertz and Trossard score

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal moved back to the summit of the Premier League with their 3-0 win away at Brighton.

Match Report

Bukayo Saka scored a first-half penalty to give the Gunners the advantage, before Kai Havertz scored from close range to double their lead just after the hour mark.

Leandro Trossard scored against his former side in the 86th minute with a beautiful chip to seal the 3-0 result in the Gunners' favour.

It means the Seagulls have lost more ground in the race for Europe, but returned Arsenal to the top following Manchester City's earlier win at Selhurst Park.
