Mikel Arteta was defiant in the face of accusations Arsenal wasted time and faked injuries after a 1-0 win over Brighton sent them seven points clear at the top of the Premier League.The visitors were poor at the Amex Stadium and their goal had more than a stroke of fortune as Bukayo Saka’s shot in the ninth minute bamboozled Bart Verbruggen, who will wonder how he let the ball slip through him.Thereafter Brighton were frustrated by Arsenal’s habit of delaying the restart of the game at free-kicks, while David Raya went down injured on three separate occasions and required treatment on the pitch, leading head coach Fabian Hurzeler to accuse the visitors of ‘making their own rules’.
