Brighton were unbeaten in their last 12 league matches coming into the game, but from the first whistle Arsenal created chances, and were rewarded when Saka converted a penalty after Gabriel Jesus was fouled.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Havertz finished from Jorginho\u2019s cross in the second half to double the advantage before Trossard added gloss at the end with a breakaway third.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Arsenal made a quick start and should have gone ahead inside 63 seconds, only for Gabriel to head wide of a gaping goal after being found by Martin Odegaard's free-kick.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Saka shot wide of the far corner and Gabriel Jesus was denied by a firm stop from Bart Verbruggen as Arsenal continued to probe, and the Gunners made the breakthrough shortly after the half-hour mark.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Julio Enciso went close to levelling in spectacular fashion shortly before half-time, but David Raya was able to claw his dipping strike away from the top-left corner. Arsenal made Raya\u2019s good work count in the 62nd minute \u2013 Jorginho getting to the byline and squaring for Havertz, who duly tucked in.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Having replaced Saka, Trossard tried his luck from distance soon after, but Verbruggen was equal to the Belgium international\u2019s low strike.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brighton\u2019s goalkeeper could do little to prevent Trossard from making it 3-0 in the 86th minute, though, with the winger keeping his cool in a one-v-one and lifting home a delicate finish to further compound his old club\u2019s misery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/04\/premier-league-arsenal-beat-brighton-to-reclaim-top-spot.jpg", "alt_img": "Premier League: Arsenal beat Brighton to reclaim top spot", "alt_title": "Premier League: Arsenal beat Brighton to reclaim top spot", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Premier League: Arsenal Beat Brighton To Reclaim Top Spot On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Premier League: Arsenal Beat Brighton To Reclaim Top Spot, Premier League: Goals from Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard gave Arsenal an impressive 3-0 win over Brighton &.", "seo_keywords": "Premier League, Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard, Hove Albion, Gabriel Jesus, Martin Odegaard, Bart Verbruggen, Julio Enciso, David Raya", "tag": "", "tagging": "Premier League, Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard, Hove Albion, Gabriel Jesus, Martin Odegaard, Bart Verbruggen, Julio Enciso, David Raya", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "premier-league-arsenal-beat-brighton-to-reclaim-top-spot", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "862", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-04-07 10:06:03", "updated": "2024-04-07 10:06:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Premier League, Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard, Hove Albion, Gabriel Jesus, Martin Odegaard, Bart Verbruggen, Julio Enciso, David Raya", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-04-07 10:06:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "football", "cnmid": "888058", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/premier-league-arsenal-beat-brighton-to-reclaim-top-spot-14425" }
