Pascal Gross goes for power as Arsenal put the man under the wall but Gross whallops it groin high and it's cleared.

It's a nasty one, there's a little bit of frustration there from Billy Sharp. There's no real complaints from him, he certainly knew what he was doing.

It is so difficult to tell when it's real time, but I think it's just outside the box.

And now Billy Sharp is booked for treading on his man - looked accidental to me but it hurt Javi Manquillo and I can see why.

Aaron Connolly is tripped right on the edge of the area and Hector Bellerin is booked. That's close to a penalty you know, no, free-kick it is...

Brighton have got one in Aarron Connolly, he's been a real nuisance every time I've seen him play. Which is at least three times.

He pulls out wide left, cuts inside and fires a low shot which is well fielded by Bernd Leno.

Back under way at the Lane.

I wouldn't say this game was dull but we've just had five minutes of chat about Ian Ormondroyd during commentary...

You don't get many 6ft 6ins left-backs but Brighton are playing Dan Burn out there. An unusual sight.

The statement says they will announce a 'permanent manager' soon - did they need to say that? Do they already have someone in mind or lined up?

David Moyes is a very experienced man, he loves the football club. There's a talented group of players there, and I think he would get a reaction and would improve them. But long-term I'm not sure. It's the collective team ethic that I think they are missing.

Matt Price: People will insist Bruce is doing a good job, but the bulk of this team is all Rafa's; the only reason Rafa struggled is because Mike Ashley wouldn't give him a huge amount of funds. Bruce would be struggling without the cash given to him and that's a fact.

Michael Smith: Finally Saint Maximin got the goal he has been promising! Not even with his tricky feet. Are the floodgates straining after Almiron's assist on the weekend.

On whether he saw Duncan Ferguson getting into management:

When I was playing I would have said absolutely not, he didn't seem the type.

But after a break from football he came back with a lot of fire in his belly, five of six years ago. He joined the coaching staff in the youth team, just wanting to get involved and give a bit back, and he's made his way up to the first team.

He'll be delighted to be given the opportunity, even if it's just for one game. We know how much the club means to Duncan Ferguson so if he can lead them to a victory it could be the start of something.

Some lovely football from Arsenal as Lacazette and Aubameyang combine on the edge of the area but the Frenchman was offside. That was better though, slick.

Set pieces are going to be huge tonight. Brighton have plenty of height and good headers of the ball so it will be interesting to see what Arsenal do, whether they go man-to-man.

On Freddie Ljungberg being interim Arsenal manager...

It's a highly unlikely scenario from knowing him as a player, but he's got a real appetite for it and is desperate to succeed. He was very committed on the pitch, made things happen and it will be interesting to see how he goes as a coach.

Mesut Ozil's near-post corner is flicked on, it nearly is an own goal but instead drifts behind for another corner. David Luiz then puts in a low shot which Mat Ryan spills but there's a flag raised anyway.

Who fancies having the job of telling Duncan Ferguson he's no longer needed, should that day come?

The Everton statement would suggest that the appointment of Duncan Ferguson is temporary. But quite often a manager's career can start with a short-term appointment. If we see a turnaround in Everton's play and ability to get on the ball and get a victory, then who knows where that will take him.

Change was inevitable. It's always sad when a manager has to move on, it's normally when performances haven't been good and that's been the case with Marco Silva.

Arsenal are winless in each of the last nine Premier League matches Mesut Ozil has started (W0-D5-L4), since a 2-0 home victory against Newcastle United on 1 April.

Ozil is beaten easily on the wing by Pascal Gross but when the Brighton cross comes in it's over everyone.

Kyle: It's all about results. I would like to see us playing more football but we didn't play much under Rafa. If we win tonight we are two points off sixth place. Considering none of the fans wanted him and after a shaky start Bruce is doing a great job.
