Gabriel Jesus: Arsenal always in control for victory over Brighton

Gabriel Jesus insists Arsenal were always in control for today's win against Brighton.

The Brazil striker and Kai Havertz struck for the 2-0 victory.

Gabriel Jesus later said: "It's not only about the result, the way we played, the way we controlled then. They have a good team. It was amazing.

"Kai is an amazing player, so strong and tall, his quality, he helps us a lot. We're very happy we have him. Everyone knows about City's quality. We have to focus on our game. It's not only City in the Premier League. Liverpool are playing so well and Villa are playing amazing. We have to focus on us."

Fellow goalscorer Havertz also said: "Very important. It's a great team. They play very nice football. It's tough to play against them. We knew we're strong at our house here. Today it went quite well.

"I'm happy as an offensive player, it's always nice to score or assist. The first one or two months were difficult but I tried to get the best out of myself every day."
