MAN OF THE MATCH?

Match summary

Nacho Monreal scored his first Premier League goal since March 2013 as Arsenal beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0 to maintain their perfect home record this season.

The Spanish defender drilled in the opener on 16 minutes after Hector Bellerin's blocked shot went in to his path.

Solly March hit a post with a ferocious free-kick as Brighton responded brightly before Aaron Ramsey went close.

Alex Iwobi doubled Arsenal's advantage after the break, when he found the top corner following a delightful backheel from Alexis Sanchez.

Arsenal are up to fifth following their fourth win out of four home matches this season. Brighton are 14th.
