The Seagulls had chances after the 80^th minute to tie the match, but they missed them. That’s when Kai Havertz scored to double Arsenal lead Eddie Nketiah’s assist and to make sure that the Gunners would get the 3 points from the match in London.

Arsenal are in 1^st place in Premier League with 39 points after 17 matches, and the Gunners are back on the winning way after the defeat against Aston Villa last weekend.
