Arsenal coasted to a 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion at the Emirates stadium, owing to goals from Alex Iwobi and Nacho Monreal.
The Gunners sealed a relatively comfortable 2-0 victory against Brighton as goals from Nacho Monreal and Alex Iwobi helped them earn crucial three points. They currently sit fifth in the Premier League and will also maintain their excellent run of form.
Since being humbled by Liverpool, Arsenal have won six out of seven games, having conceded just three goals in the process as they look to get their season back on track following several initial hiccups. Besides the win, Arsenal will also be happy with the performance of Sanchez, whose skill on field only indicated that he is getting his form back.
Brighton seemed to be looking to frustrate Arsenal but the Gunners stayed ahead at all times. In fact, within the first half-hour, the visitors showed early signs of cracking. THT takes a look at some of the best tweets regarding the match.

The way 3 players missed before Monreal finally hammers it home is the most Arsenal goal to ever Arsenal in the history of Arsenal goals

Despite being slated for his performances earlier, Monreal was a name on the lips of a lot of Arsenal fans.

Nacho Monreal one of the most consistent defenders in the PL. Versatile, hard working and loves #AFC. Excellent finish from the Spaniard. 1-0.

Sead Kolasinac’s performances have been crucial for Arsenal’s victories so far, and tonight was no less. The player may have arrived on a free transfer but his value addition to the squad has been immense.
We got Kolasinac for free yes but then again we paid like 30 odd million for Mustafi. Circle of life.
