Arsenal’s perfect start to their Premier League title defence ends as Brighton & Hove Albion beat them 3-0 at the Amex Stadium. Multiple reports say Brighton’s performance is decisive and dominant, with the scoreline described as flattering for Arsenal.

Arsenal had arrived aiming to extend a strong run of early-season victories, with one outlet referencing the club’s record of eight successive wins to start a season. Instead, Brighton are described as starting fast and sustaining pressure, leaving Arsenal unable to regain control as the match progresses. Both sources present Brighton’s display as the key factor, while also emphasizing Arsenal’s sudden drop from a winning sequence to a heavy defeat.

While the overall accounts are aligned on the result and its impact, the outlets differ slightly in emphasis: one highlights the “winning start” ending abruptly and notes the score could have been wider, while another focuses on the shock to Arsenal and connects it to broader early-season narrative for Tottenham.
