Brighton 0-0 Arsenal – Penalty to Arsenal!
31. Lamptey crashes into Jesus just inside the penalty area, and John Brooks points to the penalty spot!

Replays show Lamptey did get a touch as Jesus flicked play back inside him, but it was minimal before he went hurtling into his opponent.
The decision stands, and Arsenal have a huge opportunity to take the lead.

23. Midway through the first half, and Arsenal have had almost 60% of possession – quite the rarity for this Brighton side.
