Arsenal coasted to a 2-0 victory against Brighton in a display so dominant, the win could have been far more comprehensive.
After a rare Nacho Monreal goal had given the Gunners an early lead, it was Arsenal's second goal which provided the highlight of the early Sunday game.
A brilliant Alexis Sanchez backheel set up Alex Iwobi for the goal which effectively sealed the three points.
Arsenal had several more gilt-edged chances, but failed to extend their lead.
So, who shone and who struggled? Neil McLeman give his verdict here…
Arsenal (3-4-3):
Cech 7
Arsenal keeper had to gather crosses under not enough pressure
Holding 6
Did the double shift in Belarus and North London. Solid performer
Mustafi 6
Third game in seven days. Beaten late on by sub Murray for header
Monreal 7
Scored his first Premier League goal since March 2013 - 1660 days ago.
Bellerin 7
Busy as ever up and down the right flank. Good duel with Bong
Ramsey 5
Denied by Ryan's foot. Guilty of sloppy use of possession
Xhaka 6
His deadball deliveries now a big part of the Gunners armoury
Kolasinac 7
Usual no-nonsense display from the new cult hero down the left
Iwobi 6
Rewarded for hardworking display with his first goal of the season
Sanchez 7
Always looked for possession. His cheeky backheel set up second goal
Lacazette 6
Hit the lost in second minute but could not make it four-in-a-row at home
Subs:
Lacazette/Giroud 71
Iwobi/Walcott 71
Xhaka/Elneny 83
Brighton (4-5-1):
Ryan 7
Outstanding first-half save with his foot from Ramsey
Bruno 6
Brighton captain not able to get forward to offer his usual threat
Duffy 6
Booked for clumsy challenge on Sanchez but coped well
Dunk 7
Brilliant goal-line clearance from a low Sanchez shot
Bong 7
The Cameroon full-back impressed going forward on his Premier League debut.
March 7
Busy down the right. Cracked left-footed shot against the Arsenal post.
Stephens 6
Put in a hard-working shift in the centre of the park
Propper 6
Neat and tidy in central midfield without doing any damage
Izquierdo 7
Promising first Premier League start of Brighton's record £13m signing
Gross 5
German playmaker never got into the game in his forward midfield role
Brown 6
Chelsea loanee deployed as stand-in centre-forward. Lacked any service
Subs:
March/Schelotto 72
Brown/Murray 76
Izquierdo/Knockaert 76
