Brighton 0-0 Arsenal

VAR takes a look, Tariq Lamptey did look to get some of the ball first, but the on-field decision stands.

Bukayo Saka to take...

Penalty to Arsenal!

Tariq Lamptey is deemed to have fouled Gabriel Jesus inside the box and referee John Brooks points to the spot.

It's a collision between Tariq Lamptey and David Raya.

It's brilliant football from Brighton, Zinchenko just puts his body into Lamptey to make it difficult and then Raya comes out - I don't think it was a penalty.

There's a break in play as Tariq Lamptey needs some treatment after colliding with David Raya inside the box.

Mikel Arteta uses it as an opportunity to pass on some instructions to some of his players.

Danny Welbeck plays a ball into the box aimed for Tariq Lamptey, who has a battle on with Oleksandr Zinchenko that the Arsenal full-back wins to ensure David Raya has the few seconds he needs so he can get out and smother the ball.

Matty: Under the current way football is, that is never going to be given as a foul on Gabriel. But, shirt pulling should really be addressed in football. It's a purposeful foul that has become normality to ignore.

Brighton break again through Simon Adingra down the right. Danny Welbeck makes a run through the middle but Adingra's pass isn't the best and David Raya runs out to claim.

Arsenal should be ahead, but Brighton look a danger too.

Arsenal have a corner as Martin Odegaard's free-kick is deflected wide.

Bukayo Saka sends the ball in and Gabriel gets goal side of Pascal Gross, who has his hand on Gabriel, doing perhaps enough to distract the defender as he pokes his effort wide.

Ben White has had a really good game so far against his former side, defending well and creating a couple of Arsenal chances.

This has been entertaining and open so far as now Brighton have a good chance. Lewis Dunk plays a ball equal to Jorginho's moments ago to find Simon Adingra, who cuts inside and curls just over the far post from the edge of the box.

Arsenal keep up the pressure with more excellent build-up play.

This time it is Jorginho who spots Kai Havertz's run into the box, Havertz's touch takes him away from goal and then he has defenders on him but he lifts the ball across to Gabriel Jesus, who heads wide.

Bart Verbruggen with a full stretch dive!

Brighton were looking to play out and they give the ball away. Jesus did everything right, but it's a brilliant save.

But this is better from Arsenal as Gabriel Jesus is picked out on the edge of the box by former Brighton defender Ben White and the forward's first-time strike is pushed behind by Bart Verbruggen.

Great save.

The home team have responded well since the early Gabriel chance and Brighton are getting their patterns of play together.

When Arsenal went to the Etihad they dropped deeper, today they are looking to press Brighton high.

And that is what Brighton want so they can try play through you.

Another big chance not taken by Arsenal!

Bukayo Saka is sent away down the right and he bursts into the box. The forward cuts inside to give himself sight of goal, but bends his shot wide.

Good spell for Brighton at the moment as now they come forward through the middle through Jakub Moder. He's got a few players closing in on him so he goes for goal from distance, but sweeps his shot wide of the post.

Newcastle United

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It does feel like a big three points off the back of the week we have had. We have a small squad at the moment, we are really stretched but everyone is really fighting for the cause.

"It was a very difficult game today. Fulham started well, we didn't. it tooka huge effort from the lads to get the win in the end.

On his view at half time: "I think it still being 0-0 [was important], we could have been out of the game. The issue was probably mental rather than physical, we lost a lot of duels that we should have won and Fulham punished us a lot right until the final action.

On first half sideline chat: "I can't repeat what I said but we just needed to wake up. In this game, in the Premier League, the ruthlessness of teams, if you are off it you will be punished . We were lucky to still be in the game at half time.

On the disallowed goal: "I thought it was going to be the pivotal point in the game. I thought Dan [Burn] jumped aggressively to win the ball but I don't think it was a foul, I dont think it was excessive force.

"I was surprised on a few accounts. One that it even went to VAR in the first place. Then that VAR ruled the goal out. And finally that the referee didn't keep to his original decision of goal.

On Bruno Guimaraes goal: "It was a massive boost and a massive win for us. Sometimes it is easy to look at the negatives but the important thing today was the response from the players, the fight from the players and the quality to win. I thought we deserved to win off the back of the second half."

Gabriel Jesus tries to turn Tariq Lamptey but the Brighton full-back reads the danger well and then is up for a Seagulls attack, squaring the ball to Julio Enciso on the edge of the box but he skies his effort.

A good break by Brighton.
