87: Edward Nketiah gets his head to a cross but he was facing away from the goal and Matthew Ryan saves with ease.
89: Brighton threaten to break but Glenn Murray's lack of pace means Arsenal win the ball back. Mesut Ozil's cross is turned behind by Bruno for a corner.
From the set piece Ozil's corner finds Jack Wilshere on the edge of the box, he shoots wide.
90+2: Brighton win the ball back on the edge of the area but there is nowhere for them to go. They clear the ball up the field to nobody and Arsenal come back.
93: Hector Bellerin heads the ball back across goal and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gets a tame shot away but Matthew Ryan saves.
94: Brighton break forward with Jose Izquierdo who wins a throw up the field. Arsenal quickly win the ball back and they advance into the Brighton half.
96: Glen Murray wis a free kick on the halfway line. Could that be enough? There's not long to go now.
What a result for Brighton who gain their first Premier League points against one of the 'top six' while Arsenal suffer their fourth straight defeats in all competitions.
Lewis Dunk opened the scoring then Glenn Murray doubled the scoreline shortly after. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang got his name on the scoreboard just before halftime.
In the second half Arsenal had more of the ball but failed to create any meaningful chances as Brighton stood firm and claimed a deserved three points.
