  • Brighton 1-1 Arsenal

    68. Brighton's best form of defending their goal right now seems to be putting Arsenal under some pressure.

    VAR continues to be not fit for purpose.

    As the penalty was being taken, Jorginho lashed out an opponent with a kick.

    It was reviewed and cleared as he missed the player and did not make contact.

    58. Estupinan is penalised for a heavy challenge on Rice.

    56. Rice swings in a deep corner into the back post.

    As a numbeer of players challenge, the hosts manage to head clear.

  • Brighton 0-1 Arsenal

    54. The ball is played towards Rutter but Gabriel sees him off.

    This is part of the problem as to why The Seagulls have gone so long without a win.

    They just seem to be playing too many loose passes in the final third of the pitch.

    34. What a chance for the hosts.

    O'Reilly does brilliantly to lay it on a plate for Adingra in the middle of the Arsenal penalty area.

    He slices his effort wildly wide of the target.

    It is almost as if he forgot how legs work there.

  • Brighton 0-1 Arsenal

    32. Hurzeler will want to see his side get an equaliser before the break here.

    One lapse of judgement from the hosts cost them a goal.

    Aside from that, The Gunners have threatened very little.
