Arteta vows Arsenal will learn from chastening Brighton defeat

Arteta’s side were poor as a result, but that was also due to Brighton’s bravery and in the final third the home side were clinical, taking their Premier League tally to 16 goals in five games this season.

Arsenal won their opening four games of the league season, conceding just a single goal, but were undone by a superb Brighton performance that sees them move up to third in the table with 10 points from their five games.

There were no excuses from Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta after his side’s perfect start to their Premier League title defence came to an ignominious end at Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday with a stunning 3-0 defeat in which they were outhustled by their hosts.
