Arsenal lost 1-2 at home to Brighton, who had just three consecutive defeats, in the round of 15 Premier League on 5/12 evening.

The team of interim coach Freddie Ljungberg struggled in the first half, as Brighton increasingly played the beat. In the middle of the first half, Maupay and Davy Propper constantly had the opportunity to threaten goal keeper Bernd Leno.

Brighton took the lead after 36 minutes, when Arsenal failed to break a corner. Adam Webster took full advantage of the opportunity with a powerful shot to defeat Leno.

Arsenal played the best at the end of the first half and early second half. As injured after the first goal, the home team swept in an overwhelming attack. After goalkeeper Matt Ryan twice brilliantly blocked Joe Willock’s header in the 40th minute, Arsenal got a goal from another Lacazette header early in the second half.

The equalizer helps lift the spirits, and they create at least two other opportunities but do not take advantage of success. In particular, the referee refused to recognize David Luiz’s goal after consulting VAR.

Not knowing how to find their way into Brighton’s goal, their defense was indecisive. In the 80th minute, Maupay headed down Leno to bring a 2-1 victory to Brighton.

This result raised Arsenal’s unbeaten streak to 9 – something that never happened to them in 1977. The Emirates Stadium team also dropped to 10th, with 19 points – 10 points less than the Top 4 and just more at risk of relegation five points.
