More replays of David Raya's save to dent Kevin Schade.

Outstanding reactions from the Spaniard, who tips it onto the bar to deny his old club.

He used to play for Southport you know.

Crystal Palace win a corner but it doesn't go beyond the near post.

Burnley have had most of the possession here but they haven't been able to do a great deal with it.

Almost a Brentford leveller!

Arsenal have spent the opening 20 minutes swarming all over the visitors when Kevin Schade's powerful header is tipped onto the bar by David Raya.

Nikola Milenkovic goes into the book for bringing down Jhon Arias as the Wolves man tried to break away and build his side a counter attack.

Merino has slotted in really well when Arsenal have had the likes of Gyokeres, Havertz and Jesus out. There is going to be some competition for that number nine spot when they come back but he is coming up with the goods at the moment.

Arsenal are starting to purr.

Noni Madueke is proving a real handful and stings the hands of Caoimhín Kelleher.

Then Ben White, who has marked a rare Premier League start with an assist, goes close.

The home fans are enjoying this.

Merino is a top player isn't he? He keeps coming up with goals. We came up against him last year at Leicester, in one of the first games he played striker, and he got two goals. He took us by surprise.

He definitely had the instincts when he got up there and he is always a player that times his runs into the box well - like Frank Lampard, someone like that.

That's a really good effort from Jaidon Anthony. It comes to him on the edge of the area and he chips his first-time effort up but it's tipped over the bar by Dean Henderson.

Stand-in keeper Marco Bizot didn't cover himself in glory for that Brighton goal which was timed at eight minutes and 26 seconds.

Brighton are up to third in the table as it stands.

I tell you what, he came into that centre forward as a midfielder, but over the months he's turned into a forward that thinks like a striker.

Arteta's decision to keep him in there is vindicated big time.

The cross is good and the movement is even better from Merino.

Merino is excellent for Arsenal as a striker. He gives them such a target to aim for.

The Spain international is so good in the air and he heads in White's cross so easily.

Good save from Martin Dubravka, that.

Jean-Philippe Mateta gets across his man and holds the ball up really well but his low powerful shot is parried away by the Burnley shot stopper.

Bizot has come in and not expected to play at all. The plan was for Martinez to play. He's come in and first corner he's probably thought, "I want to make a bit of a stance that I'm here" and unfortunately he's got it all wrong. Just let defenders defend.

Sean Dyche turns and claps his hands in frustration as Igor Jesus nods wide, before facing the pitch again and applauding his Nottingham Forest side. Still a very low-key start at Molineux.

Great hustling down the right-hand side from Joao Gomes but his pass into the box is lacking quality.

Arsenal know that they are in a great position [in the league]. Keep the others at an arm's length and keep churning results out.
