After Manchester City's win at Crystal Palace earlier today, the Gunners have followed suit with a comprehensive victory here at the Amex.
A first half penalty from Bukayo Saka and second half goals from Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard did the business from an attacking perspective while the defence clocked up another clean sheet on the road.
90+5. Ben White picks up a daft yellow in the final seconds for kicking the ball away, and with it brings the biggest cheer of the day from the home fans.
86. Three goals for Arsenal! Three points for Arsenal!
Pascal Gross is caught in possession by Kai Havertz midway inside the visitors' half, and the ball falls kindly into the path for Leandro Trossard.
With nothing and nobody ahead of him, the Belgian puts his head down and goes, running 50 yards to bear down on Bart Verbruggen before dinking a beautiful finish over the stranded goalkeeper.
It seems a harsh decision on the centre-back, whose challenge on Joao Pedro was minimal. In fact, it might have been given for the defender's reaction to seeing a free-kick awarded.
62. It's two, and the Kai Havertz redemption story continues!
The goal, crucial for the Gunners, is shambolic from a Brighton perspective, and starts with Julio Enciso cheaply giving away possession.
Despite Bukayo Saka being down injured, the visitors push forward, taking advantage of Simon Adingra and Pervis Estupinan ball watching.
Jorginho remains onside as he's fed on the right, and his centre to the near post is converted from close range by Havertz, right in front of the ecstatic Arsenal support.
