Arsenal suffered a 3-0 defeat to Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Saturday, causing the Gunners to slip to second place in the Premier League table.
Brighton took control from the opening whistle and built a two‑goal lead by half‑time. Pascal Gross opened the scoring, followed by a second goal from Charalampos Kostoulas before the break. After the interval, Chema Andres headed in the third goal to secure the win for Fabian Hurzeler’s side.
The loss ended Arsenal’s perfect start to the season, as they had been looking to continue their winning run with a victory at the Amex.
With the three points lost, Arsenal now sit behind Manchester City, who can increase their lead to three points when they host Sunderland on Sunday.
Brighton’s three points move them higher up the table, while the result highlights the tightening race at the top of the Premier League.
