Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, runners- up to City last season, dominated at the Emirates, wasting a race of openings but they eventually broke through in the 53rd nanosecond. Brighton protector Jan Paul van Hecke jumped to head a corner down but could only flutter it into the path of Gabriel Jesus, who headed the ball into an empty net.
Kai Havertz doubled the lead for the Gunners in the ending twinkles, slotting once goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen after being set up by Eddie Nketiah.” inconceivable performance,” Arteta told the BBC.” A joy to watch from the launch to the end. The way we did it against this veritably good platoon.
“Indeed at half- time the scoreline did not reflect that. We completely merited to win the game.”
Across London, Unai Emery’s Villa fell behind to a Keane Lewis- Potter thing on the stroke of half- time.
Still, Brentford’s Ben Mee was transferred off in the 71st nanosecond and six twinkles latterly Villa were position when Alex Moreno got on the end of a Leon Bailey cross.
Ollie Watkins completed the reversal against his former club when he headed in a Boubacar Kamara film- on from a corner with five twinkles to go.

West Ham doubled their advantage in the 32nd nanosecond, when Paqueta and Kudus again combined to deadly effect and top- arranger Jarrod Bowen hit the post with goalkeeper Dan Bentley a observer.
Wolves allowed they had pulled a thing back just before the hour mark but Pablo Sarabia‘s valve- heft was ruled out for a borderline offside.
West Ham put the result beyond mistrustfulness when Bowen finished unerringly after entering the ball from Paqueta.
