'They look more ready' - national media make Arsenal title race point after Brighton victory

Arsenal maintained their Premier League title push with a comfortable 3-0 win over Brighton. Bukayo Saka (pen), Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard were on target for Arsenal at the Amex Stadium.

It was a result which helped them keep up pace with Manchester City and Liverpool at the English summit amid what is shaping up to be an exciting run-in. City defeated Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon and Liverpool are ready to get down to business with Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.

Even if the Reds win that game, though, there will only be three points between the top three. Here, we look at how publications such as The Guardian, BBC Sport and The Telegraph reported on Arsenal's win against Brighton.

Bukayo Saka sends three-word message as Arsenal dressing room reacts to Brighton win

David Hytner from The Guardian wrote: «It was not only the victory — although that was plainly the biggest thing for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal — one to return them to the top of the Premier League table. It was the manner of it; how they absorbed everything that Brighton threw at them before pulling clear during a second-half masterclass of strength and control.

»The success or otherwise of Arsenal's title bid will surely be determined on the road and this was the first of four testing assignments — the others come at Wolves, Tottenham and Manchester United. Brighton were unbeaten in their previous 14 matches in all competitions at the Amex Stadium; they were on a club record run of 12 top-flight home games without defeat. And for plenty of the first half, they showed why. They were slick with the ball, sharp with their movements. They asked questions.
