World : Brighton Ends Arsenalâs Winning Start In Premier League
LONDON, Sept 20 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- Arsenal suffered their first defeat in the Premier League this season after losing 3-0 to Brighton on Saturday, reported Xinhua.
Brighton's resounding 3-0 victory over Arsenal halted the Gunners' perfect start to the Premier League season. The Seagulls stormed to an early lead through Pascal Gross, whose shot hit the post before finding the back of the net. Arsenal, who had been unbeaten in their last nine league matches, struggled to contain Brighton's intensity and failed to capitalize on numerous chances.
Bukayo Saka came closest to an equalizer but failed to convert a crucial opportunity after the ball reached him in the box. Brighton sealed their win with two more goals, one from Charalampos Kostoulas and another from Chema Andres, who capitalized on a corner kick. This win marked the Gunners' first defeat of the season and their second place in the table on goal difference, just one game behind leaders Manchester City.
Meanwhile, Coventry City finally recorded their first Premier League win in 25 years, beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the City Ground.
