ARSENAL moved to the top of the Premier League after a comfortable 2-0 home win against Brighton on Sunday.
Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz were the goal scorers as the Gunners claimed the number one position after 17 games.
Mikel Arteta’s side dominated much of the early opening exchanges but struggled to find an opening in the first half.
However, their pressure would eventually tell in the second period when Jesus made the most of a defensive error from a corner to put the home side in front.
Havertz doubled the lead as the home team secured the three maximum points needed to overtake Liverpool, who the Gunners face next at Anfield.
