Brighton v Arsenal, Newcastle v Hull and more: clockwatch – live
Brighton Turn the Game Against Arsenal
Brighton produced the biggest scoreline of the afternoon at the Amex, taking a three-goal advantage over the defending Premier League champions.
Pascal Groß opened the scoring in the first half with a curling effort that found the net after striking the post. Charalampos Kostoulas then doubled the home side's advantage shortly before the interval.
The third goal arrived after the break when Chema Andrés finished from a corner, giving Brighton a 3–0 lead and leaving Arsenal facing a major turnaround challenge.
The result is particularly notable because Arsenal had entered the match with four league wins from four and seven victories across all competitions.
Arsenal's Perfect Start Under Threat
Mikel Arteta's side had conceded only once across their first four Premier League fixtures. Brighton's three goals therefore represented a significant change in the champions' defensive record.
Arsenal also made two changes from their previous league starting XI, with Jurriën Timber replacing the injured Ben White and Bruno Guimarães coming into midfield.
Brighton, meanwhile, made two changes from the side that defeated Coventry City 5–0, with Chema Andrés and Pascal Struijk entering the starting lineup.
Newcastle United 2–1 Hull City
Newcastle made a fast start at St James' Park and established a two-goal advantage during the opening stages.
Joe Willock struck after only a few minutes, before Lewis Hall added another goal to put Newcastle 2–0 ahead.
Newcastle then had the opportunity to extend the lead from the penalty spot, but Yoane Wissa was unable to convert.
Hull responded through Mohamed-Ali Cho, who reduced the deficit and brought the visitors back into the contest.
The late stages therefore remained tense, with Newcastle attempting to protect its advantage while Hull searched for another opening.
Everton 1–0 Ipswich
Everton were also ahead in the other Premier League fixture being followed in the clockwatch.
Thierno Barry headed Everton in front after 11 minutes, while a later Everton goal was ruled out following a VAR review for offside interference.
Ipswich's afternoon became more difficult when Abdul Fatawu received a second yellow card for simulation and was sent off.
What Happened Before Kick-Off?
The Saturday 3pm Premier League programme featured several important storylines. Arsenal arrived at Brighton looking to maintain their unbeaten league start, while Brighton entered the match after a strong opening to the campaign and a midweek Carabao Cup comeback against Manchester United.
Newcastle faced Hull at St James' Park, with Hull having made an eye-catching start to life in the Premier League. Everton and Ipswich met in another fixture with both teams looking for valuable points.
The matches were part of a busy Matchweek 5 schedule, with Nottingham Forest scheduled to host Coventry later in the day.

Brighton vs Arsenal: The Main Talking Points
Brighton's attacking performance was the defining story at the Amex. The Seagulls repeatedly created dangerous situations and converted three of them into goals.
Arsenal had entered the match with an impressive defensive record, but Brighton's pressure and finishing changed the complexion of the game.
The match also marked another chapter in the recent relationship between the two clubs. Arsenal had won both league meetings during the previous season, while Brighton were seeking a response on home territory.
Newcastle vs Hull: A Nervy Finish
Newcastle appeared to have control after scoring twice early, but Hull's response ensured the match remained competitive.
The missed Newcastle penalty became another important moment because it prevented the home side from creating an even larger cushion.
Cho's goal then gave Hull renewed belief and made the closing stages considerably more uncomfortable for Newcastle.
