Arsenal moved back to the top of the Premier League with a victory at Brighton.
Bukayo Saka opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the first-half after Gabriel Jesus was brought down in the box.
The Gunners then doubled their lead in the second-half when Kai Havertz finished off Jorginho’s cut-back.
The win - and top spot - was then secured late on when substitute Leandro Trossard made it 3-0 to Arsenal.
Simon Collings was at the Amex to see Arsenal in action...
David Raya 7
Made a brilliant save just before half-time to deny Julio Enciso’s curling effort. Was largely untroubled other than that.
Ben White 6
Back at his old club and put in a solid display. Made some great runs forward on the overlap in the first-half.
William Saliba 7
Nullified the threat of former Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck, who didn’t get a sniff. Another solid performance from the Frenchman.
Gabriel 6
Missed a glorious chance after one minute when he headed wide from a free-kick. Passing a bit sloppy in the first-half.
Oleksandr Zinchenko 6
Typically involved in a lot of Arsenal’s build-up play as he looked to get on the ball. Still had the odd heart-in-mouth moment defensively, though.
Martin Odegaard 7
At the heart of so much of Arsenal’s good play and unlucky to not get on the scoresheet himself. Seems to be peaking as the run-in begins.
Jorginho 8
Back in the team and brought control to the midfield. He should be tasked with a similar role against Bayern Munich on Tuesday. Setup Arsenal’s second goal. The King of Control.
Declan Rice 7
A quieter afternoon for the England star, who was used in an advanced role again. Enjoyed a good battle with Brighton youngster Carlos Baleba.
Bukayo Saka 7
Back in the team after missing the win over Luton with a muscle issue. His penalty means he has now scored 30 goals and assists combined this season.
Kai Havertz 8 | Star player
Even with Jesus back, he is keeping his spot as Arsenal’s No9 - and deservedly so. Scored Arsenal’s second and setup their third. Looks reborn since leaving Chelsea.
Gabriel Jesus 6
Should have come away from this with a goal. Missed two good headed chances in either half. Defensively excellent, though.
