Brighton dominated Arsenal at a rain-soaked Amex Stadium but were left incredibly frustrated to only come away with a point after a fine display in a 0-0 draw.

The Gunners were famed for their pretty football under long-time manager Arsene Wenger, but Brighton gave them a lesson in the first-half, knitting together some beautiful football that should have resulted in a goal.

Maupay was determined to haunt the Gunners again but couldn't find the net

New signing Marc Cucurella was dangerous down the right, with Brighton's three centre backs continually wasting golden chances in the area.

Lewis Dunk blasted over from an Aaron Ramsdale spillage that was later given as a foul, while Dan Burn should have easily headed in the opener.

Leandro Trossard and Arsenal's number one enemy Neal Maupay both had a pair of decent chances, coming at the end of some attractive and effective build up play.

The story was the same for much of the second half, only punctured by the odd Arsenal counter which was snuffed out by a confident home team led by the impressive Graham Potter.

The sides ended with two shots on target each when the final whistle, but Brighton can take far more confidence from these two points dropped than from their profligate displays last season.
