Brighton

Brighton's centre-back pairing deserve solid praise

Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy outmuscle the entire Arsenal squad

An incredible game of defending for Brighton who withstood an onslaught of Arsenal's wave after wave and the two men at the heart of it all was 26-year-old pair Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy.

The two of them not only kept Aubameyang and the rest of Arsenal's attack silent but also connected to score their side's first goal. Strong in the tackles, loud in the instructions and commanding in the box, they kept the defending to a minimum and helped their side immensely with a massive performance.

They used their strength and height to maximum advantage and bullied Arsenal for an entire ninety minutes.
