Mikel Arteta said Arsenal’s 3-0 defeat by Brighton was a reminder of how tough every game in the Premier League is as the defending champions were beaten for the first time this season. Brighton dominated from the off at the Amex Stadium and punched holes in Arsenal’s normally resolute defence thanks to long-range strikes from Pascal Gross and Charalampos Kostoulas before half-time. Chema Andres rose highest to head in a third from a corner early in the second period as Arsenal lost by more than two goals for the first time in over three years. Arteta congratulated Brighton and said his team were far from the basics needed in the Premier League.
