Advertising boards were also said to have been smashed.

Arsenal regained pole position in the Premier League title race after beating Brighton, a victory that saw them leapfrog Liverpool and Manchester City. Just hours after champions Crystal Palace was swatted aside at Selhurst Park, the spotlight was on Mikel Arteta's opponents to respond on the south coast. After Tariq Lamptey's dangling leg spotted Gabriel Jesus, the visitors were given the lead at the interval, Bukayo Saka's ice-cool first-half penalty rewarded him. They then doubled their advantage after Kai Havertz's poacher's finish just after the hour, before Leandro Trossard scored against his former team.

Fans of Arsenal's controversial penalty in the first half were elicit on Saturday, and Brighton fans were ecstatic. Tariq Lamptey was found to have fouled Gabriel Jesus inside the box, and referee John Brooks pointed to the spot. 'Lamptey has the ball perfectly,' one fan said.'

Manchester United's Dan Ashworth has been designated as the No. 1 target in the hunt for a new sporting director. Ashworth, 52, works in Newcastle United, but it appears Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS have chosen the man to oversee recruitment at Old Trafford. United and Newcastle are expected to reach an agreement over Ashworth by early next week, according to Mail Sport. Both sides are planning a formal approach for the sporting director, and a prompt conclusion is the preferred result.

Brighton is concerned that a hamstring injury could keep them without Ansu Fati for three months. Similar questions have been raised over Tariq Lamptey's fitness, but the Seagulls insist his issue is not as bad as first imagined, and may be back sooner than expected.

MATT BARLOW IN ATHENS: Roberto De Zerbi's diplomatic skills were certainly enhanced by simmering tensions between the British and Greek governments over the Elgin Marbles. The Brighton boss arrived in Athens for a critical Europa League match against AEK, who says he trusted Premier League referees only after saying he does not like 80% of them. I believe in the people,' De Zerbi said.

During a moment right after Brighton's Tariq Lamptey collapsed due to injury, Brighton's Tariq Lamptey collapsed, and Brighton fans gathered in the lower tier of the Bridgford Stand chanting, 'Stand up if you've brought your boots'. They had already lost Ansu Fati earlier in the half, and now Lamptey, in his first appearance since October, was compelled to add to their growing injury list. However, Roberto De Zerbi's injury-ravaged side emerged in a thrilling match against Nottingham Forest as Fati's replacement, Joao Pedro, scored twice after Evan Ferguson's equalizer to give the Seagulls their first league victory since September and their first top-flight victory since 1979.

After suffering an injury in Brighton's six-goal thrashing at Aston Villa, Roberto de Zerbi is concerned that Pervis Estupinan will miss about a month. 'He's injured and can't play for a long time,' De Zerbi said before Thursday's Europa League match in Marseille. 'One month, more or less.' I don't know the time, but it is a muscular injury and not for a game or two. We're unfortunate that it is a key player we're losing, but we can still play with Tariq Lamptey, Igor Julio, or others.' We have to be able to assist others.'

OLIVER HOLT AT OLD TRAFFORD: Old Trafford was not a shock victim. Brighton won as most predicted they would. The more-owned, more profitable, better-managed club defeated an entity that is still trying to figure out what being a football club entails, as many as expected. Manchester United has devolved into a sad shambles of a place both on and off the field. During Brighton's match against United, there were long stretches of the game. There were times when United States could not get anywhere near them. Brighton is so brave in possession and so confident that it feels like an education and a treat every time you watch them. On Saturday, they were mesmerizing.

In the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley, Manchester United will face Brighton and Hove Albion. The Red Devils come off the back of losing 3-0 by Sevilla, with Youssef En-Nesyri and Loic Bade scoring to win by 5-2 aggregate in the Europa League quarter-finals. Erik ten Hag's men will be trying to book their place in another cup final at Wembley Stadium. To win the Carabao Cup, the team defeated Newcastle United 2-0 back in February.

DANIEL MATTHEWS: SANTON KORU Mitoma's injury-time winner gave Brighton a surprise 2-1 loss against Liverpool on Sunday, kicking Jurgen Klopp's side out of the FA Cup. Harvey Elliott's first-half opener for the Reds was quickly terminated by Tariq Lamptey's deflected shot off Lewis Dunk before Mitoma scored a stoppage-time goal to salvage Liverpool's rocky run of form. DANIEL MATTHEWS of Sportsmail has compiled a list of the Amex's top picks from the show below...

Brighton are not keen on allowing Tariq Lamptey to leave the club on loan before the end of the January transfer window. Sporting Lisbon has opened an inquiry into the right-back, which they are trying to fill given that Pedro Porro is expected to join Tottenham Hotspur. Lyon's Lavatory team is also considering a transfer for Lamptey, who has been a bench option for the Seagulls this season.

Chelsea's Mykhailo Mudryk recorded a new fastest sprint speed in the Premier League this season on his debut against Liverpool, but the overall record belongs to a central back. The new £88 million winger's top seed of 22.76mph makes him his fifth best overall since the 2020-21 season.

SIMON JONES: Sporting Lisbon has questioned whether Brighton right-back Tariq Lamptey will be on loan until the end of the season. As right-back Pedro Porro settles in on a move to Tottenham, the Portuguese giants seem to be looking for a quick backup. Spurs were trying to reach an understanding with Sporting on Wednesday, fearing that Chelsea might have hijacked the transfer.

ADRIAN KAJUMBA CHARGETS: It's time for optimistic proclamations about this year, and if anyone of an Arsenal persuasion wanted to start 2023 with one relating to their hunt for their first Premier League title in nearly two decades, they may have a good argument. Arsenal continues to triumph, although their rivals continue to show that they are more prone to losing points. Their title credentials are being established week by week, game by game. For the time being, Arsenal's most closely linked to the club are refusing to be carried away. But match days like this final Saturday of 2022 only add to the sense that this might not be their time again.

On Boxing Day, the Premier League will resume, with more than six weeks off. It varied in terms of how many players from each team were at the World Cup in Qatar - from two at a few sides to 16 at Manchester City - but how did clubs' players get on?How far did they get, and how many minutes did they play? Sportsmail has a look at how the World Cup affected each team in the top division and how they might be affected going forward as a result of the tournament.

In both teams' vital final group stage match at the Qatar World Cup, Ghana (left) faces Uruguay. Despite losing 3-2 against Portugal in their tournament opener, the African team bounced back to beat South Korea 3-2 on Monday to boost their hopes of qualifying for the last 16. Otto Addo's side needs a victory over Uruguay on Friday to ensure progression, but a draw could be enough, depending on Portugal's results against South Korea. Uruguay has failed at this tournament and currently sits last in Group H after a goalless draw with South Korea and a 2-0 loss to Portugal on Monday. Uruguay must win. And in the 2010 World Cup, Ghana's bitter quarter-final exit (right) - and others of Luis Suarez (inset right) - gives the country a chance not only to make the mistakes but also to exact revenge and eliminate the South American outfit. Sportsmail takes you through everything you need to hear about the Al-Janoub Stadium (inset left) shortly approaching.

Callum Hudson-Odoi, a Chelsea winger, has turned down the opportunity to represent Ghana at the Qatar World Cup unless he decides to wait for his future England call-up. Hudson-Odoi is on-loan at Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and has established himself as a central figure in the German team during his current season, with the club currently ranked 10th in the league standings.

Ghana has only lost two of their 12 matches this year. In their first AFCON qualifier in June, the Central African Republic, ranked 132nd in the world by FIFA, were held to a 1-1 draw before being defeated 4-1 by Japan and drawing 0-0 with Chile. Ghana didn't do well in September, after being outclassed by Brazil and only won by 1-0 over Guatemala, ranked 81 places below them, in a recent friendly, where Addo's charges against them have been drawn with Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea.

On November 21, the first World Cup to be held in the winter will begin, with Group H being the first to be launched on November 24. Sportsmail takes you through an intriguing Group H, from how each team qualified for the tournament, their involvement in the tournament, and who to watch out for.

In an interview that piqued renewed interest from the Black Stars, the Gunners' forward had previously stated his willingness to change but has since been reluctant to announce for the west African side. With 14 goals in 12 games, Nketiah has the all-time record goalscorer for England's under-21 team, but he has yet to be called up to the Three Lions' senior team. The Ghanai FA's decision was revealed by ghanasoccernet.com and arrives just a month before the tournament in Qatar gets underway. But Nketiah isn't the only Premier League talent to be of concern to the African team, who have already secured Mohammed Salisu and Tariq Lamptey's future loyalty, as well as Athletic Bilbao's Inaki Williams.

For the first time this fortnight, the 21-year-old has been called up to the international stage having chosen to represent the nation of his parents. For the first time, players who have been called to the Ghana side are generally encouraged to perform their dance moves as a way of welcoming the team, and Lamptey has been caught giving his own interpretation of the event. In the past, the London-born right-back rose from Under 18 to U21 level, but he recently forged his international link.
