Brighton 0-1 Arsenal: Alexandre Lacazette strikes to earn Gunners back-to-back wins

Striker Alexandre Lacazette scored 21 seconds after coming on as a second-half substitute to give Arsenal a narrow win at Brighton.

The Frenchman swept in Bukayo Saka's ball for his third goal in three games to earn the Gunners their first back-to-back league wins since the start of the season.

However, their display lacked the fizz that saw them defeat Chelsea 3-1 on Saturday. They were particularly sluggish in the first half when they only managed one effort on goal.

The tempo and urgency was turned up a couple of notches after the break, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Gabriel Martinelli going close before Lacazette struck.
