Shonan Bellmare Overview

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.

Manchester United boss Michael Carrick has thrown his support behind young defenders Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven following their Carabao Cup exit. The Red Devils threw away a two-goal lead in a dismal 3-2 defeat to Brighton, prompting heavy criticism of the inexperienced centre-back pairing. Despite the setback, Carrick insists both players remain crucial to his long-term plans at Old Trafford.

Fabian Hurzeler has hailed his Brighton side as 'horrible to play against' after they produced a clinical performance to dismantle Arsenal at the Amex Stadium. The Seagulls boss watched on with pride as his players ended the Gunners' unbeaten start to the season with a commanding 3-0 victory on the south coast.
