Arsenal returned to the top of the Premier League table as goals from Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz secured a dominant 2-0 win over Brighton at the Emirates Stadium.
Jesus headed the opener from a corner soon after half-time and Havertz added a breakaway second from Eddie Nketiah’s pass in the closing stages.
Arsenal spurned a succession of other chances either side of the goals, registering 26 shots to Brighton’s six, but Havertz’s strike, shortly after Pascal Gross had missed a guilt-edged chance at the other end, finally made the result safe.
