Extended Highlights | Brighton vs Arsenal | Premier League

What a sight and what a sound greets the Albion as they celebrate their 125th anniversary by welcoming reigning champions Arsenal to the Amex. Fabian Hertzler's three scoring sea goals are the league's highest scorers with 13 goals in four matches and they meet the league's tightest defense. Having not beaten the Gunners here for six years what a statement of intent and what an anniversary present it would be to topple the champions this afternoon. There's a bit of room for Kimarayesh. Really tamely given away and that's progressive. Comes to Costulas. Costulas overrunning it. Costulas dragging it Rea flicking it away. Corner. Brighton have started superbly here. Played forward Found Costulas. He overran it initially then the ricochet came back to him. Rea getting a hand to it. Took a deflection as well. Rea wasn't certain where it was going. That's a good stop. Hruskevic. Costulas that's beautifully worked. Gros from range. Gros is there. It had to be him. Another masterpiece from Pascal Gros. What a player he is. What a start Albion have made and what a goal to score on your 125th anniversary. That's as accurate as it gets. He is deadly Pascal Gros. Back through Costulas and they've allowed play to continue here. Whipped across. Dangerous looking ball as well. Can Carioglou get there? He can. Ayari side netting. Thrilling from Brighton again. He's loving what he's seeing. Neamex utterly enthralled. Beautifully worked again. Anson Ayari couldn't find the smallest of gaps. Kuiper in. Deep. Very deep. Across to Gros. Comes out for Boskagli. Arsenal look to break. Still they look to break and it's whipped to the far side and Arsenal could be away here. Stroup trying to get back. It's Urdegaard. It's Saka. It's Verbruggen with the stop. There was an offside flag anyway. Now Brighton on the counter. Four against four momentarily. Gomez. Rice gets back. Gomez. Costulas turns. Costulas! What a goal! Absolutely sublime from Babis Costulas. What a talent he is. What a team the Albion are. They lead the champions by two goals to nil. Absolutely remarkable. Arsenal were threatening an equaliser. Brighton come straight down the other end and do this. Gomez looking for options. Goes short. Costulas given time, given space and that is absolutely sumptuous. Gros. Nicely worked. Costulas. Costulas having another run and dragging his shot. He just glides. Eats up the turf. Makes it look very simple. He's running at some of the best defenders in the world. Braille backing off him and showing fear against the teenager. Under serious pressure and it drops for Costulas and Costulas. Corner only. Could have been much, much more. He wanted a little bit more movement or he wanted the tackle from Havertz. By Gros. And headed in! Simple as that. Albion lead 3-0 and it's the first Albion goal for Chema Andres. Marvin Rea complains. Brighton celebrate. A shake of the head from Declan Rice. Euphoria and disbelief in equal measure around the Amex. Arsenal, usually so tight defensively, have just let this happen. Remarkable. Whipped in by Gros. Chema Andres completely free and nods it in. The Kuipers won it. Boscagli. Threaded through. Is he taken out there? Darren England says no. BAR will have a look. They're gonna have a check. No foul there. Consus challenge on him. He wanted one, didn't he? Chema Andres, neat touch. Less neat from Gomez but he continues. Gomez still on the move. Gomez going on the outside but Gabriel is there and that will be a corner. Arsenal troubled again. Gomez having a fine game. Kuiper with the kick. Kuiper curls it in. Oh, it's wide. Just wide. There's a few around the ground who thought that was in from Pascal Strauch. Just past the post. Flipped over the top for Havertz who could be in to pull one back but Bruggen denies him. Worth his weight in gold. 100 Premier League appearances for the Seagulls. He allows himself a smile because this was Arsenal's best chance really the second half. Plenty of Arsenal fans leaving early. Making their way back to North London. Disappointed for the first time in a long time. Rose to whip it in. Back post again. It's turned over the bar. Jorginho was there looking for his first goal of the season on his return from injury. Wasn't far away. Boskagli didn't get there first but Brighton do win the ball back. Rose to de Kuiper. There's a look into the area. Oh and Rea makes the save that would have been hugely fortuitous. It hit O'Reilly rather than him knowing where the ball was but still would have counted. Rea with a really important save. Goes to Jorginho. Jorginho with Yaukue the runner. Jorginho, Yaukue, Jorginho steps over it. This could be four. What a stop from Rea. Yaukue he can't force it in. Brighton should have had a fourth. It was wonderfully worked. O'Reilly causing havoc since coming on. He waited for the right pass. Yaukue step over from Jorginho. Opened up for O'Reilly. Rea gets right and then Yaukue following in. Just couldn't find the finish. Rice swerving this way and that to avoid him but Yaukue still going. And then Rice kicks out at Yaukue in sheer frustration. Could be trouble for Declan Rice here. Be interesting to see what Darren England makes of it. Looks like he's got a yellow card out. Yeah yellow card for Declan Rice. Just showing his frustration. What did he do there? Yaukue I think just clicked him. He doesn't kick out. Well there's the final whistle. Brighton have had some monumental wins in their 125 year history but this win on today of all days is up there with the best of them. They didn't just beat the reigning champions. They comprehensively outplayed them from first to last. Inspired by a passionate home support. Fine finishes from Pascal Gross, Bavis Costulas and Chema Andres led the Albion to a monumental win. A real statement of intent and the best anniversary present they could have wished for. It ends at the Amex. The Albion three, Arsenal nil.
