Arsenal lost heavily to Brighton, closing their chance to compete for the championship with Man City

In a must-win situation to keep up with Man City, Arsenal played disappointingly and suffered a 0-3 defeat to Brighton despite playing at home at Emirates Stadium.

It must be said that Brighton played very convincingly and won with determination and confidence in their play. Their midfield, with Caicedo, played on par with Arsenal's energetic and technical midfielders like Xhaka and Odegaard. The first chance of the first half belonged to the blue team with a shot from a tight angle by Enciso. However, goalkeeper Ramdale played focused in this situation.

Arsenal continued to show weakness when facing Brighton.

Arsenal were left with a surprise injury when Martinelli left the field early. Former Brighton player Troussard came on as a replacement. The Belgian midfielder immediately created a great chance with a shot that hit the crossbar of Jason Steele. Brighton responded with a combination and shot from the duo Mitoma and Enciso but the ball unfortunately went over the bar.

The visitors opened the scoring at the start of the second half. Defender Estupinan charged up the left flank, putting pressure on Arsenal's defense before passing the ball inside for Enciso to head in for the opening goal. The loss dampened Arsenal's spirits. They played erratically and almost lost their motivation to fight. In the 86th minute, Trossard closed the door to victory for the home team when he passed the ball incorrectly, allowing Undav to double the lead.

In injury time, Undav fired a shot from outside the box. Ramsdale blocked the shot but was helpless against Estupinan's rebound. Arsenal lost 0-3, with almost no chance of winning the title. They have only 2 matches left in the Premier League this season, 4 points behind Man City while playing 1 more match than their opponent. Man City only need to beat Chelsea next week to be crowned champions with 2 rounds to spare.

Premier League standings after round 36.
