Arsenal triumph over Brighton with a 1-0 win to maintain second place in the standings.

Arsenal secured their second consecutive Premier League victory on Saturday, defeating Brighton 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners came into the match as one of the top teams in the league and they did not disappoint, producing a strong performance that saw them take all three points.

The first half was a cagey affair between the two sides, with both teams struggling to create any clear-cut opportunities. However, Arsenal finally broke the deadlock in the 55th minute when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored his fourth goal of the season from close range.

Aubameyang's goal proved to be the only difference between the two teams, but it was enough to secure Arsenal's second successive win in the league. The win also helped the Gunners maintain their second-place position in the table, just one point behind Manchester City who have played one game more than them.

Despite the defeat, Brighton showed great character and resilience throughout the match, creating several chances to score a late equalizer. However, goalkeeper David de Gea made some crucial saves to keep his side in front until the final whistle.

Overall, Arsenal's victory was a well-deserved result for the team, who continue to show their dominance in the Premier League. With games against West Ham and Everton coming up next, the Gunners will need to keep their foot on the gas if they want to maintain their title race hopes.
