Ireland striker Aaron Connolly, second from left, celebrates with his Brighton team-mates after Neal Maupay scored their second goal late on to claim all the Premier League points against Arsenal at the Amex StadiumIrish striker Aaron Connolly played a huge part in setting up Brighton's last-gasp Premier League win over Arsenal at the Amex Stadium. The result came three days after Mikel Arteta's side suffered a 3-0 rout at Manchester City as the Premier League returned after a three-month hiatus due to the coronavirus health crisis. Three minutes after Arsenal's opener on 68 minutes, Connolly was introduced as a substitute for Pascal Gross. With a fresh attacking impetus, the Seagulls equalised in the 75th minute through Dunk, before Connolly played in Maupay for the winner in the 95th minute. Brighton are 15th on 32 points, five points above third-from-bottom Bournemouth, who have one game in hand.
