and live on Freeview channel 276
Goals from Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and former Albion forward Leandro Trossard sealed a 3-0 victory for the visitors, who moved back to the top of the table.
Albion were restricted to very few goal-scoring opportunities and lacked quality in the final third against a formidable defence.

"A really difficult team to play against and they ask so many questions, but the team was mature and clever in the game we had to play.
"In attack and defence we had big performances individually.

Arsenal’s formidable defence of William Saliba and Gabriel ensured the Seagulls were unable to create any clear cut chances.
On not conceding in five away games, Arteta added: "That is really good and a huge plus, we have to continue doing that.
"Brighton were really good today they asked us a lot of questions, but we were able to resolve them."
