Brighton crushes Arsenal 3-0, ending the champions' perfect start

Arsenal entered the Saturday match on a flawless record, having collected all twelve points from their first four Premier League fixtures. Brighton, however, arrived at the Amex Stadium and delivered a commanding performance, scoring three times without reply. Pascal Gross put the visitors ahead after a rebound off the post, and Charlampos Kostoulas doubled the lead by beating goalkeeper David Raya.

In the second half Chema Andrés added a third goal, sealing a comprehensive victory. Arsenal's attack was ineffective, with no attempts on target, and their captain Martin Ødegaard could not create a clear chance for Bukayo Saka. Commentators described the display as one of Arsenal's weakest in recent memory.
