Arsenal opened up a seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League table as they strolled to a 4-2 victory away at Brighton & Hove Albion to end 2022 as leaders.
Bukayo Saka opened the scoring in the second minute while Martin Odegaard, Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Martinelli all scored to ensure a fairly routine win for Mikel Arteta’s side despite goals from Kaoru Mitoma and 18-year-old Evan Ferguson and some nervy moments late on.
It meant Arsenal took full advantage of earlier slip-ups from their closest rivals, Manchester City and Newcastle United, who both drew their games on Saturday.
