90' +5
N. Maupay has scored a goal for Brighton & Hove Albion! Assist by A. Connolly.

Description
75'
L. Dunk has scored a goal for Brighton & Hove Albion!
GOAL!! BRIGHTON ARE LEVEL! It's a scrappy one, but the hosts won't care! March gets down the left and crosses towards Maupay at the near post.

68'
N. Pépé has scored a goal for Arsenal! Assist by B. Saka.
Saka - playing in midfield today - drove forward with the ball and gave Pepe a one-on-one situation. The Ivorian had plenty left to do, but he produced a sublime strike to put the Gunners in front!
GOAL!!! WHAT A STRIKE FROM PEPE!!! Saka finds the winger on the right and he faces up to his marker just inside the box. He cuts inside and curls a beautiful, dipping strike that flies into the top corner, leaving Ryan with no chance! It's 1-0 to Arsenal!

50'

That change is now made, with Leno carried off and his right leg strapped up. He has some choice words for Maupay as he goes off. Martinez comes on to replace the German between the sticks.
38'
The stretcher is out and it looks like Leno will have to be replaced. Arsenal look set to lose a third player to injury in two games.

Burn earns the first yellow card of the game as he goes in late on Pepe, going to ground and scything the winger down from behind.
28'
A quick change of direction from Mooy draws a foul from Bellerin in a wide area and Brighton have an opportunity to float the ball into the box. It's wasted, however, as the free-kick is overhit.
26'
We're back in action again and Trossard tries to volley at goal after a clever dink over the top, but gets right underneath it and balloons the ball into the stands.
24'
There's a brief stoppage in play as the players go to the sidelines for a water break. The sun is shining brightly on the south coast at the moment.

We're off! Arsenal get us underway at the Amex.
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League fixture between Brighton and Hove Albion and Arsenal at the Amex Stadium.
Brighton and Hove Albion XI (4-2-3-1): Mat Ryan; Ezequiel Schelotto, Adam Webster, Lewis Dunk, Dan Burn; Davy Propper, Yves Bissouma; Aaron Mooy, Pascal Gross, Leandro Trossard; Neal Maupay.
Brighton and Hove Albion substitutes: Tariq Lamptey, Glenn Murray, Solly March, Alexis Mac Allister, Aaron Connolly, Shane Duffy, Martin Montoya, David Button, Dale Stephens.
Arsenal XI (4-3-3): Bernd Leno; Hector Bellerin, Shkodran Mustafi, Rob Holding, Sead Kolasinac; Matteo Guendouzi, Dani Ceballos, Bukayo Saka; Nicolas Pepe, Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Arsenal substitutes: Emiliano Martinez, Mesut Ozil, Reiss Nelson, Zech Medley, Eddie Nketiah, Joe Willock, Gabriel Martinelli, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Kieran Tierney.
Brighton's first game back sees them host Arsenal, with both sides desperate for points. The Seagulls are just two points clear of the relegation zone, whilst Arsenal are eight adrift of the top four and lost 3-0 to Manchester City last time out.
The Gunners have shown a marked improvement from their display in midweek, but the loss of Leno - one of their key players this season - to what appears to be a serious injury must be a real concern for Arteta as his injury list begins to grow ever longer. Brighton will be pleased to have made it to half-time without conceding, and will hope to make their opponents pay for failing to score whilst on top.
Brighton travel to Leicester City in their next outing, whilst Arsenal visit Southampton.
Thank you for joining our coverage, we hope you enjoyed the game. Until next time, goodbye.
