Brighton vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction today
Relive all the action from the Amex Stadium
High-flying Brighton missed the chance to go level on points with Premier League leaders Chelsea following a drab goalless draw which ended resurgent Arsenal’s winning run.
Albion edged a rain-soaked encounter at the Amex Stadium but managed just two attempts on target as Leandro Trossard, Dan Burn and Neal Maupay each failed to capitalise on decent openings.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang headed against the outside of a post for the uninspiring Gunners, who were denied a fourth victory on the bounce having begun the campaign with three successive defeats.
The Seagulls sit fifth with 14 points from seven games, with Mikel Arteta’s visitors four places and as many points further back.
