ARSENAL went back to the top of the Premier League table with a vital victory over Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton on Saturday evening.

The first came from Bukayo Saka’s penalty, prior to Kai Havertz grabbing his ninth league goal of the campaign after the break, before Leandro Trossard’s late third sealed three important points for the north Londoners.

Mikel Arteta, who rotated his side in the 2-0 win over Luton, made four changes for the clash against the Seagulls.
