Jan Paul van Hecke says Arsenal are one of the "best teams in the world" but Brighton must bounce back against rivals Crystal Palace.

Albion were well beaten at the Emirates on Sunday in a 2-0 loss as Roberto De Zerbi's men were restricted to just six shots on goal, compared to the home side's 26, and had it not been for some excellent defending, the scoreline would have been more one-sided.

While the Dutch defender said it could have been a different story if Pascal Gross had converted his gilt-edged opportunity with the score at 1-0, this was a game the Seagulls didn't deserve to win against the league leaders - but did say in other matches they should have got more for their efforts.
