Arsenal vs Brighton LIVE: Premier League result and final score as Jesus and Havertz goals send hosts top

A big opportunity goes begging for Arsenal as Saka cuts the ball back for Martinelli near the penalty spot, only for the left winger to lash high and wide of the target.

Martinelli whips a teasing ball across the face of goal, but Dunk coolly chests it back to his goalkeeper before any lurking Arsenal forward can get there. That was cool as you like from the centre-back.

Brighton have won four of their seven away games against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium – it’s the highest win rate (57 per cent) of any visiting English side at the ground since it opened in 2006.

The injured Veltman is forced to make way as Hinshelwood comes on to replace the Dutchman.

Veltman goes down again and it appears his race is finally run. He did try and battle on, but against a side the calibre of Arsenal, that may not have proved too helpful to his side's efforts.

Gabriel gets up brilliantly to leap above Milner and meet a delivery from the left, though his header fails to trouble Verbruggen as he makes another routine stop.

It appears Veltman will try and soldier on. Arteta will be instructing Martinelli to have a run at the defender to take advantage of any potential discomfort Veltman is in.

De Zerbi may be forced into an early change here as Veltman goes down with a problem. Hinshelwood is a potential option off the bench is Veltman does have to come off.

Jesus makes the space for a shot from range after shifting onto his right foot and firing, but his effort is poor and straight at Verbruggen.

46.4 per cent of the action was in the Brighton third over the opening 15 minutes. It has been a dominant performance from Arsenal in terms of territory, though the scoreline remains 0-0.
