In a closely contested Premier League match, Arsenal secured a 1-0 lead against Brighton, thanks to a penalty converted by Bukayo Saka in the 33rd minute. The penalty was awarded after Tariq Lamptey fouled Gabriel Jesus inside the box, a decision confirmed by VAR and referee John Brooks. Saka's successful spot-kick marks his ninth out of ten Premier League penalties, contributing to his impressive season tally of 30 goals/assists in all competitions. Despite Brighton's efforts, including a notable save by Raya from an Enciso attempt, Arsenal maintained their lead at 0-1. The match saw moments of concern for Arsenal's defense, but they managed to keep Brighton at bay.

The joy Saka emanates when he scores a penalty is contagious #COYG
Difficult with Jesus running at him, but Lamptey needed to be a bit smarter there for that penalty concession. It's hard enough against Arsenal, without gifting them a lead, 0-1. #BHAFC #BHAARS

Saka!!!!! Not 100% positive that shouldβve been a penalty for Arsenal, in all candor. But β¦ Saka!!!!
1-0 Arsenal! Saka converts the penalty. Odegaard held the ball for ags as Verbruggen tried to get close to him but, as he has done before, handed it over to Saka. Really firm strike to send the keeper the wrong way.

Penalty Arsenal, Lamptey foul on Jesus. Referee John Brooks no hesitation. #BHAFC #BHAARS
Lamptey is okay to continue, 0-0 (29). #BHAFC #BHAARS
Lamptey receiving treatment. He was hurt in this earlier incident, challenging for the ball with keeper Raya. https://t.co/tWgYS0NkER
Van Hecke's pass through the lines to Welbeck nearly gets Lamptey in. Arteta showing some concern on the touchline about how his normally tight defence has been troubled, 0-0 (27). #BHAFC #BHAARS
Danny Welbeck with a clever flick from Baleba's pass releases Adingra. A better cross and the frustrated Welbeck would have been in, 0-0 (25). #BHAFC #BHAARS
Lamptey on Havertz, back post at a corner, is a mismatch in height, 0-0 (22). #BHAFC #BHAARS
Another opportunity for Arsenal. Jesus gets his angles wrong, heading wide from a cross by Havertz, 0-0. #BHAFC #BHAARS
