Brighton v Arsenal ratings: Lallana 7, Duffy 7; Ramsdale 8, Odegaard 5

Mikel Arteta happy with a point for the Gunners

BRIGHTON RATINGS: Robert Sanchez 7 - The Spanish goalkeeper didn’t have much to deal with but saved Arsenal’s biggest chance when Smith-Rowe struck towards the near post. Getty

Dan Burn 7 - Had some moments of trouble against Bukayo Saka but overall adjusted well with a solid performance. Reuters

Lewis Dunk 7 - Dominated both Arsenal’s centre-forwards and was quick to clear the danger from balls coming into the box. Getty

Shane Duffy 7 - Looked calm in Brighton’s back three that got the better of the Gunners’ attack. Getty

Marc Cucurella 8 - A positive display defensively but was also one of Brighton’s best sparks going forward. Found space behind Tomiyasu on a number of occasions and delivered dangerous balls into the box. Getty

Jakub Moder 7 - A bright display from an energetic Moder who broke up the play and helped quickly transition Brighton attacks. Getty

Adam Lallana 7 - Elegant in the middle of the park with astute turns and incisive play to get his side on the front foot. Reuters

Pascal Gross 7 - Dangerous on the ball and threatened the Arsenal backline with a number of passes that forced the defence to be on alert. AFP

Joel Veltman 6 - Could have been more accurate with passing at times but a positive performance overall. Worked well with Shane Duffy to prevent danger from the right flank. Reuters

Leandro Trossard 6 - Unafraid to test the goalkeeper but just one of Trossard’s shots from six hit the target. Tricky to pick up on the ball as always. Getty

Neal Maupay 6 - Agonisingly close to getting the winning goal before Aaron Ramsdale intervened. Could have done better with a header that went over the bar. AFP

SUBS: Alexis Mac Allister (Moder, 78) - Positive on the ball but unlucky overall to not find a route to the Arsenal goal. Reuters

Solly March (Gross, 84) - On for the final moments where Brighton looked most likely to score. Getty

ARSENAL RATINGS: Aaron Ramsdale 8 - Arsenal have their goalkeeper to thank after a sublime intervention stopped what would have been a certain goal from Neal Maupay. Ramsdale dealt with everything comfortably and was well deserving of yet another clean sheet. Getty

Takehiro Tomiyasu 5 - Carelessness almost cost Arsenal the game in a tough test against Marc Cucurella. Tomiyasu has to take better care of the ball in future games. Getty

Ben White 7 - The former Brighton defender enjoyed a good performance on a return to the Amex Stadium. The centre-back was flawless for the most part and was often the player who cleared the danger first. PA

Gabriel 7 - A promising display alongside White and, most importantly, no mistakes in moments of pressure from the home side. The centre-backs were vital for Mikel Arteta's side. Reuters

Kieran Tierney 6 - A fair defensive performance helped steer a Cucurella cross away from the goal, but the Scotland international will know he has much more to offer when going forward. Getty

Thomas Partey 6 - Could have done more to control the midfield battle where the Gunners seemed to struggle for most of the game. Created Arsenal’s best chance that Smith-Rowe failed to convert. PA

Albert Sambi Lokonga 6 - Sometimes slow in transition which didn’t help relieve pressure. Didn’t seem to add anything different to Thomas Partey with both playing cautiously. Getty

Bukayo Saka 7 - The England international threatened Brighton early on and was positive with the ball. It looked like his team mates weren’t on his wave length at times. Getty

Martin Odegaard 5 - A bad day at the office for Odegaard who seemed to constantly give the ball away. PA

Emile Smith-Rowe 6 - The academy graduate played better when he was moved into the 10 but he has to do much better with his chance that went straight at Robert Sanchez. Reuters

Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang 6 - Struggled to get service in a game where the most space he was presented with was when he was offside. Getty

SUBS: Nicolas Pepe (Odegaard, 63) 6 – A positive substitution but Pepe didn't get on the ball enough when introduced. Getty

Alexandre Lacazette (Aubameyang 72) - Lacazette was introduced and found out why Aubameyang was isolated. Brighton got the better of both strikers today. PA

Ainsley Maitland-Niles (Saka, 90) - On for Saka who limped off with an injury. Getty

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was satisfied to escape Brighton with a goalless draw following a lacklustre display from his resurgent side.

The high-flying hosts edged a dull Premier League encounter as the Gunners’ three-match winning run was brought to an end.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang headed against the outside of a post for the visitors in the first half but chances were scarce, with just two attempts on target at each end.

“I think it was a point gained because I don’t think we deserved anything more than that,” said Arteta.

“We did deserve the point because we defended really well the last 15 or 20 metres of our pitch.

“But in the end we never felt in control of the game and we struggled to break their press and get a good sequence of passes and impose ourselves in the final third and they made it really tough for us.”
