Davy Propper and Solly March had even better openings as the Seagulls attacked the North Stand.

Locadia, who impressed wide on the left, said: “We started not so good and Arsenal scored the first goal and Maty (Ryan) saved us with some big saves again.

“Luckily, I scored the 1-1 and from there we tried to play football, like we always do.
