Arsenal moved seven points clear at the top of the Premier League with a deserved victory over Brighton in a hugely entertaining match on New Year's Eve.
The Gunners took advantage of Manchester City's surprise draw against struggling Everton earlier on Saturday to increase their buffer at the top of the table. Bukayo Saka opened the scoring inside two minutes with a composed touch and finish and Mikel Arteta's side never looked back on the south coast.
The outstanding Martin Odegaard added a second goal before half-time on the second phase from a corner and it appeared to be game over soon after the second half kicked off, with Eddie Nketiah tapping in a rebound after Gabriel Martinelli stung the palms of Robert Sanchez.
