In Saturday night's Premier League match, Brighton & Hove Albion defeated Arsenal 3-0 at home. Afterward, Chema Andres shared his thoughts on the match in an interview.

How was Brighton & Hove Albion's performance today?

I think we played a near-perfect game as a team. The team was in fantastic form, and the intensity and fighting spirit we showed throughout the match were exactly what was needed to beat such a top team.

How did you feel when you found out you were starting today?

I was incredibly excited. This week has been truly wonderful for me. First, I started at Old Trafford, which was very significant, and today, starting against the reigning champions is also great for me. I gave it my all.

Were you nervous starting against Arsenal?

Not nervous at all, just full of excitement. My teammates made me feel very secure and grounded, and I believe that was a major reason for my performance today.

It was a perfect afternoon for the whole team, and for you, it was even better — you scored Brighton & Hove Albion's third goal from a corner with a beautiful header.

It was my first Premier League goal, and it felt fantastic. The fans were amazing, and the celebration after the goal was unforgettable. This goal helped us go three goals up and was a crucial moment in the match. Although the goal is credited to me, it was the result of the entire team's collective effort. This goal belongs to the whole team and to all the fans present.

Gross had a goal and an assist today, and Kostouras also contributed a goal and an assist, plus your goal. When you scored, did you feel the game was "over" and Arsenal had no chance of coming back?

Against this team, you can't say the game is over. They have incredibly talented players of astonishing quality, but we maintained high-pressure attacking for the full 90 minutes as a team. I believe that was the key to our victory today.
