Nigeria’s Alex Iwobi scored Arsenal’s second goal in a 2-0 spanking of Brighton at the Emirates on Sunday afternoon.
Iwobi, who got back in the Arsenal midfield and replaced Mohamed Elneny, got on the score sheet.
The first half was an enjoyable one between two neat footballing sides.
Nacho Monreal drove Arsenal into the lead in the 16th minute when he capitalised on the chaos in the penalty area.
