Premier League champions Arsenal are trailing Brighton 2-0 at half-time in a crucial encounter at the Amex Stadium. Brighton's Pascal Gross opened the scoring, followed by a stunning shot from 19-year-old striker Charalampos Kostoulas in the 44th minute, doubling their lead.
Arsenal, who entered the match with a perfect record of seven wins from seven games across all competitions this season, face a significant challenge. The Gunners have not won a Premier League game from two goals down at half-time since 2008.
Brighton, celebrating their 125th birthday, have pressed Arsenal from the start, with both goals conceded by the champions coming from outside the box. Mikel Arteta's side will need a strong response in the second half to maintain their winning start to the season.
