"Arsenal returned to the Premier League summit after holding out for a nervy 2-1 victory over Brighton at the Emirates Stadium. Earlier on Saturday, Manchester City leapfrogged Mikel Arteta's side into top spot, but Arsenal responded in kind to restore their two-point lead in the title race. The Gunners started brightly and took a deserved 14th-minute lead. Bukayo Saka was gifted the ball, and he teed up Martin Odegaard, who fizzed a powerful effort from long range into the bottom-right corner."
"An unfortunate Georginio Rutter was responsible for Arsenal's second goal as he rose high to defend a wicked Declan Rice corner, only to send it into his own net. But out of nothing, Arsenal's advantage was halved just after the hour mark, with Diego Gomez on hand to thunder in the rebound when Yasin Ayari's low effort cannoned off the post. David Raya made an exceptional stretching save to deny Yankuba Minteh an equaliser shortly after, while Gabriel Martinelli fired over from a glorious late chance at the other end."
