Arsenal leapfrogged Liverpool at the top of the Premier League on Saturday with a 3-0 win at Brighton.
Goals from Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, and Leandro Trossard lifted the Gunners to 71 points, one clear of Jurgen Klopp’s men, who are tied at 70 points with defending champions Manchester City.
Liverpool face a trip to mercurial Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday in the next chapter of a thrilling three-way title race. Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, who have now won 10 of their past 11 league games, dominated the first half at the Amex Stadium but needed a penalty to take the lead.

Furthermore, the breakthrough came when Gabriel Jesus was brought down by Tariq Lamptey, and the returning Saka sent Bart Verbruggen the wrong way for his 14th Premier League goal of the season in the 33rd minute.
The Gunners have not been crowned Premier League champions since 2004, when Arsene Wenger was in charge, but they have added steel to style after faltering in the home straight last season.
In conclusion, Arsenal doubled their lead shortly after the hour mark when Jorginho set up Havertz at the near post for a simple tap-in, and Trossard made it three with a deft chipped finish.
