Analysis: Fearless Seagulls rewarded for attacking approach

Brighton came into this match as the league's top scorers and did not disappoint with their attacking mindset.

But they worked hard in possession and when battling for the ball to deny Arsenal the space in which they thrive.

Diego Gomez on the wing did an excellent job of keeping Riccardo Calafiori quiet, while Charalampos Kostoulas caused problems for the Gunners backline throughout.

The 19-year-old Greece international deserved his excellent goal, which was his third in successive games, as he looks to show he can step up to be Brighton's main striker following Danny Welbeck 's summer departure to Chelsea .

But he was well supported by his team-mates, with Spaniard Chema Andres marking his first league start with a first goal for the club.

And then there was the 35-year-old Pascal Gross , who has rolled back the years with his performances so far.

The German, who rejoined the club in January from Borussia Dortmund , was again the conductor of Brighton's play and now has four goals in his last five games.

Fabian Hurzeler's side are packed with young talent and have a fearless approach that will cause problems and concern for any side - as both Manchester United and Arsenal found out over the past week.
