Arsenal maintained their dominance at the Premier League summit with a challenging victory over Brighton. The Gunners' focus remained firmly on securing three points rather than entertaining the home crowd, achieving their objective despite facing a tough opposition.
The victory puts Arsenal seven points clear at the top of the table, though they have played one more game than their nearest rivals.
