Brighton demonstrated their prowess against Arsenal in the opening 45 minutes at the Amex Stadium. The league's leading scorers arrived at their home ground with confidence, following a successful start to the 2026/27 Premier League season. They capitalized on that confidence, scoring twice against Mikel Arteta's Gunners. Veteran German midfielder Pascal Groß opened the scoring with a curled effort in the 31st minute, capitalizing on Brighton's press.
Greek youngster Charalampos Kostoulas doubled the lead with a shot from outside the box before halftime. This marked Arsenal's third goal of the season, all conceded from long range. With Arsenal's defense becoming a key factor in their recent Premier League triumph and Champions League run, Brighton's method of play appears to have unraveled their opposition.
The results will be crucial in determining whether Arteta's team can mount a comeback in their upcoming away match.
