Brighton end Arsenal’s perfect Premier League start
Arsenal's perfect start to their title defence ended with a 3-0 trouncing by Brighton, while Tottenham remains winless after a 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa.
Brighton secured a 3-0 victory over Arsenal in their Premier League match, marking the first time in 50 years that a team came from behind to defeat Manchester United in the League Cup. Arsenal, arriving at the Amex Stadium in formidable form, had not lost a game in all competitions this season. However, Brighton's confident start paid off as they scored three goals, with Pascal Gross, Charalampos Kostoulas, and Chema Andres finding the back of the net.
Despite the defeat, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta acknowledged that his team had not played to their usual standards, viewing the result as a valuable learning opportunity. Brighton, buoyed by their League Cup triumph, displayed a strong team performance, with manager Fabian Hüserler expressing pride in his players. The loss represents Arsenal's heaviest competitive defeat since April 2023.
