Overview
- Brighton beat reigning champions Arsenal 3-0 at the Amex Stadium on Saturday with goals from Pascal Gross, Charalampos Kostoulas and Chema Andres.
- Hürzeler said his instructions centred on winning "small battles" such as the first header, tackle, throw-in and corner to build confidence and control the game's tempo.
- The manager credited collective defensive commitment and aggressive, coordinated pressing for quick ball recovery while still keeping control in possession.
- Arsenal had most of the ball but failed to convert possession into chances and Declan Rice was fortunate to avoid a red card, a shortcoming Mikel Arteta said cost his side the match.
- The win moved Brighton to third and extended their unbeaten league run to five with 16 goals from five games, and Hürzeler urged consistency as the club seeks to make standout performances routine.
