LONDON -- One own goal, two injuries but three points. Arsenal returned to the top of the Premier League with a 2-1 win over Brighton, which once again highlighted the fine margins the Gunners are currently operating within.
Mikel Arteta's side deserved this victory, and now they sit two points clear of Manchester City.
This is despite Arsenal continuing to battle a varied list of fitness problems, the latest of which was Jurriën Timber's enforced absence before kick-off and the last-minute loss of Riccardo Calafiori to injury in the warm-up.
