Fantastical numbers

Brighton & Hove Albion head coach Fabian Hurzeler has heaped praise on veteran midfielder Pascal Gross, comparing the German maestro to a "fine wine" that only improves with age. The 35-year-old was the architect of a dominant performance as the Seagulls dismantled Arsenal in a statement Premier League victory.

Arsenal saw their flawless start to the Premier League season come to a crashing halt on Saturday afternoon as Brighton ran riot at the Amex Stadium. While the result was damaging enough for Mikel Arteta’s side, the afternoon could have ended even more sourly had Declan Rice been dismissed for a late moment of madness.

Mikel Arteta did not hold back in his assessment of Arsenal's 3-0 defeat to Brighton, accusing his players of failing to respect fundamental footballing principles. The Gunners arrived on the south coast boasting a flawless record this term, but uncharacteristic defensive mistakes saw the reigning Premier League champions comprehensively beaten.
