Brighton produced a dominant display to stun Arsenal 3-0 at the Amex Stadium on Saturday, climbing to third in the Premier League table and ending the Gunners’ unbeaten start to the season.
Pascal Gross opened the scoring in the first half with a superb strike from outside the penalty area after being set up by Charalampos Kostoulas, giving the hosts a deserved lead.
Brighton doubled their advantage just before the break when Kostoulas produced a stunning long-range effort that left Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya with no chance.
The Seagulls completed the rout early in the second half as substitute Chema Andres met a corner with a clinical finish to make it 3-0 and cap an impressive team performance.
