Albion fans will be encouraged as their team climbed to fifth spot, two points behind leaders Chelsea, while Arsenal moved up to ninth.Mikel Arteta accepted his team’s below-par performance only merited a point, with Arsenal’s tally of five goals from their opening seven league games their lowest total since the 1986/87 season.

“I don’t think we deserved to win the game. We have to take the draw with the performance we had and improve.” Bukayo Saka threatened in the first minute, embarking on a mazy run and working goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, but Arsenal faded in a half Brighton dominated. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hit the post with a header in the 23rd minute but the more energetic hosts continued to impress.
