Match Report
Seventy-two minutes. That's how long Hull City held out at the Emirates on Saturday, and when the breakthrough finally came it wasn't pretty. Noni Madueke's shot was saved by Konstantinos Tzolakis, the ball ran loose, and Martin Ødegaard got there first to dink it over the goalkeeper. Arsenal 1, Hull City 0.

Every few weeks the same conversation starts up. Bukayo Saka isn't the player he was. He's lost a yard. He's in a dip. He doesn't look right.

Eighty minutes. That is how long it took Arsenal to put a shot on target at the City Ground, and when it finally came, it needed a deflection off Jair Cunha to wrong-foot Matz Sels. Nottingham Forest 0, Arsenal 1. Noni Madueke, 80th minute. One effort on target all afternoon, and it was enough.

Opinion
Arsenal arrived unbeaten, chasing an eighth straight win to start the season — their best opening to a campaign in 123 years. They left having been taken apart by a Brighton side that out-fought, out-thought and out-ran them from the first whistle. The scoreline read 3-0. The performance, by Arteta's own admission, was worse than that.

Nine changes from the side that ground out victory at Sunderland, two teenagers making their first starts of the season, and a scoreline that still ended up looking comfortable: Ipswich 2, Arsenal 4. Arsenal are through to the Carabao Cup fourth round, and while the closing stages got needlessly untidy, the story of the night at Portman Road was set inside the opening quarter of an hour — by a 16-year-old who took the ball off his own centre-forward's toes in his head and went and won the game himself.

Opinion
Nine straight wins. Arsenal haven't strung together a run like that since the Invincibles, and they got this one the hard way — away at a raucous Stadium of Light, against a Sunderland side that hit them harder and ran further than anyone they'd faced this season. Sunderland 0, Arsenal 2.
