Brighton had eight but only one hit when Jahanbakhsh forced Leno to a sharp stop

44 minutes: Arsenal have regained control in the final minutes of halftime but don’t really look like creating anything

38 minutes: Now everything is Brighton! First, a cross from the right somehow evades everyone in the middle and then Jahanbakhsh forces Leno to a terrific near-post save

34 mins: Aubameyang has had a quiet evening so far, but he’s running down to the left just to get his retreat right behind Smith Rowe

28 mins: Gross seizes an almighty chance when he cynically blocks Saka to make sure Dan Burn gets to the ball first to clarify It’s just out of bounds

Brighton has now started and has enjoyed a long time of ownership all pretty evenly and not much to report
