Unai Emery on Arsenal's away troubles ahead of Huddersfield clash

Arsenal survived a scare to grind out a win over Huddersfield Town to boost their hopes of finishing inside the top four.

The Gunners raced into a 2-0 lead thanks to Alex Iwobi and Alexandre Lacazette.

But Town responded well, but their goal came too late to provide more pressure in pursuit of a point, with Sead Kolasinac putting through his own net in stoppage time.

Relive the action as it happened above.

A heroic performance so far from the Burnley keeper in tough conditions.

71 min: Brighton 0-2 Burnley

It's far too slow in all honesty from the hosts at the moment as the rain continues to pour at the Amex.

No chances for the hosts since Chris Wood's second and this looks like coming to a tepid end.

72 MIN: PENALTY TO BURNLEY

GOAL! Brighton 0-3 Burnley (Barnes pen 74')

Maybe not tepid after all.

There's controvery in abundance here. A minute after the hosts believe they should have a penalty for a Hendrick handball, the visitors do get one after Ryan brings Barnes down.

The striker makes no mistake in taking the penalty he wins and that will see Dyche's men jump out of the relegation zone.

GOAL! Brighton 1-3 Burnley (Duffy 76')

That's a fifth for the season for the centre-back, who nods home a free-kick to reinvigorate the home crowd.

80 min: Brighton 1-3 Burnley

Well, those were some thrilling five minutes there. And there may still be some more to come, as Ben Mee narrowly heads wide from a corner as the visitors look to make absolutely sure of victory. 

Are we going to see a repeat of events at Villa Park yesterday?

[9 February 2019 19:08 · Kishan Vaghela]

And he could have had a third!

84 min: Brighton 1-3 Burnley

One of Knockaert's best balls in today is well defended by Tarkowski, in what otherwise would have been a certain chance for the hosts. 

Tarkowski and Mee have been immense at the back today and have largely dealt with the Brighton threat. 

[9 February 2019 19:14 · Kishan Vaghela]

Looks like this will only be a consolation as we head into the last five minutes.

89 min: Brighton 1-3 Burnley

Not the ending Sean Dyche would have wanted. Ben Mee heads a cross clear but falls awkwardly and looks to have turned his ankle.

Anxious moments for the visitors.
