Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Arsenal's trip to Brighton in the Premier League. Is the crisis over? Arsenal were vastly improved in their Boxing Day win over Chelsea, ending a run of seven league games without a win. Brighton, however, will be out to continue an impressive recent record against the Gunners, having won both meetings last season.

End of 2nd Half
90+5'
FT: Brighton 0-1 Arsenal. Substitute Alexandre Lacazette's second-half goal was enough to ensure Arsenal won back-to-back league games for the first time since September. Brighton finish 2020 having won one home league game all season. Thanks for joining us. Goodnight.

It was just 21 seconds, in fact, that Lacazette was on the pitch before being picked out by Saka after great work from the youngster down the right, with Lacazette picking his spot with aplomb. Three goals in three games for him now.
