You’ve got to give credit to a die-hard, proper English team like Brighton and Hove Albion that lack outstanding quality but punch way above their weight once they face those big names like Arsenal.For the vast part of their today’s game, the Seagulls were the better side, and just a bit of luck saved Mikel Arteta’s outfit from losing it at The Amex stadium.It started poorly for the Gunners, with the Graham Potter’s side dominating the game though failing to break the deadlock despite several more than decent opportunities.Superb save from Aaron Ramsdale to keep Arsenal in the game against Brighton & Hove Albion #BHAARSpic.twitter.com/HNPkWS9BuC— Arsenal Best Goals & Videos (@AFCBestGoals) October 2, 2021 Aaron Ramsdale was under a severe barrage at one moment, with the ball possession in Brighton’s favour 65:35%.Trossard caused a lot of headaches for Arsenal defence, and only Ben White’s exquisite clearance prevented him from scoring 20 minutes into the game.Ben White made more clearances (6) than any other Arsenal player in the first half against Brighton.No player made more ball recoveries (4) than the centre-back. pic.twitter.com/ttUEaqIAT1— Squawka Football (@Squawka) October 2, 2021 The only glimpse of Londoners’ offensive attitude came on the wings of young Bukayo Saka. However, it was an easy job for Brighton defenders, who conceded only five goals in the first seven Premier League rounds.This praiseworthy tradition could have been ruined only a few minutes after the break amid Aubameyang’s run. For some reason, a whole bunch of referees didn’t see an obvious offside which allowed Auba to storm into the opposing area, even dribbled the keeper, but Duffy’s last-ditch tackle saved the day for the hosts.Soon after, the Gunners had their best chance of the game, with Smith-Rowe cruising on the right flank, creating himself a decent position to score, but Sanchez saved it in the end.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 7SaturdayMan Utd – Everton 1-1 (1-0)/Martial 43 – Townsend 65/Chelsea – Southampton 3-1 (1-0)/Chalobah 9, Werner 84, Chilwell 89 – Ward-Prowse 61 pen/Burnley – Norwich 0-0Leeds Utd – Watford 1-0 (1-0)/Llorente 18/Wolverhampton – Newcastle Utd 2-1 (1-1)/Hwang 20, 58 – Hendrick 41/Brighton – Arsenal 0-0Sunday16:00: (3.10) Crystal Palace (3.30) Leicester (2.50)16:00: (2.20) Tottenham (3.40) Aston Villa (3.60)16:00: (1.87) West Ham (3.70) Brentford (4.50)18:30: (2.85) Liverpool (3.40) Man.City (2.60)***odds are subject to change
