Jesus and Havertz send Arsenal top of Premier League table with win over Brighton
The Gunners returned to the top of the Premier League table after goals from Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz helped them defeat Brighton
After a dominant but unlucky first-half, the hosts intensified their efforts and found the opener in the 53rd minute after a Gabriel Jesus strike. German international Kai Havertz added a more assured feeling to the scoreline in the 87th minute when he finished coolly past Bart Verbruggen.
What Arteta said
"Incredible performance,” the Spanish manager said in the post-match presser, per the BBC.
“A joy to watch from the start to the end. The way we did it against this very good team. Even at half-time, the scoreline didn’t reflect that. We fully deserved to win the game.
)
"We had 15 shots [in the first half]. It was a lot. We had to keep going. We don’t have that accuracy in front of goal."
