Arsenal vs Brighton: Incredible — Arteta raves about excellent Gunners

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was elated by his team’s statement performance against Brighton and made glowing remarks about his team.

The Gunners trumped the Seagulls 2-0 at the Emirates to return to the top of the Premier League.

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.

"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."

Meanwhile, former Arsenal star Paul Merson has weighed in on the debate involving Bukayo Saka and Liverpool star Mohamed Salah.

Despite his affiliations, Paul Merson believes the Gunners’ “Starboy” Bukayo Saka is not yet at the level of Liverpool star Mohamed Salah.

Saka has had a remarkable career so far, amassing 201 competitive appearances for Arsenal and earning 32 caps for England at the young age of 22.

He boasts an impressive record of 46 goals and 52 assists for his club, along with 11 goals and eight assists for the national team. 

In comparison, Salah has recorded 200 goals and 87 assists in 327 appearances for Liverpool, and he has contributed 53 goals and 30 assists in 93 appearances for Egypt.
