The decision to bring on Lacazette in the 65th minute was a masterstroke by Mikel Arteta
Lacazette showed good composure as he slotted the ball past Robert Sanchez after receiving the ball from Bukayo Saka, who found space down the right with a buccaneering run.
Earlier, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang somehow failed to give the Gunners the lead as his goalbound shot was excellently kept out by Sanchez.
But Lacazette’s goal was all that was required to secure Arsenal back-to-back wins for the first time in the Premier League since their opening two league matches of the season.
Meanwhile, the Seagulls hover just above the relegation zone. They’re three points ahead of 18th-placed Fulham, who have played a match less.
