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.

Full Time: Brighton 1-3 Burnley

So Burnley go 15th in a table after a resounding 3-1 win at the Amex against Brighton.

Chris Wood's double, a goal in each half, put the visitors two goals ahead.

Brighton, who could have had a penalty in the first half, should also have had one in the second when the ball struck Hendrick's hand.

Moments later it was 3-0 Burnley after Dyche's men got a spot kick of their own when Barnes, who converted, was brought down by Ryan.

Shane Duffy scored a consolation and was the only player to beat the impressive Tom Heaton, who has no doubt caught the eye of Gareth Southgate.
