Arsenal suffer first defeat of season, thrashed 3-0 by Brighton
–
Neutral summary
Arsenal suffered their first defeat of the season on Saturday, 19 September, losing 3-0 to Brighton at the Amex Stadium in the fifth round of the Premier League. The champions, who had won their opening four league matches, saw their winning run come to an end and missed the chance to set a 123-year-old record for consecutive wins at the start of a season, according to RBC. The defeat was Arsenal's heaviest in any competition since April 2023, as reported by The Citizen and El Nacional. Brighton dominated from the start and, in the words of The Japan Times, "punched holes" in Arsenal's normally resolute defence. Pascal Gross scored for the hosts, with Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler praising the player as someone who "gets better with age". After the match, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said his team failed to "respect the game" and described the loss as a "big lesson" against complacency, according to Sky Sports and The Citizen. As a result, Arsenal lost top spot in the table to Manchester City on goal difference, Al Jazeera reported, with City extending their lead with a win on Sunday, according to Metropoles. Several outlets, including The Independent, also reported that Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice avoided a red card after a wild kick at an opponent in the closing seconds of the match.
