In the latest update to the Premier League ‘top four’ odds, Brighton have been priced at 25/1 to qualify for a Champions League place after a 3-0 victory over title-chasing Arsenal.


Key Moments: Arsenal vs Brighton

  • The hosts started strongly and were inches from taking the lead, as Leandro Trossard’s effort grazed the crossbar.
  • Neither side could break the deadlock in the opening half, however Brighton dominated the ball for large parts of the match.
  • The Seagulls were rewarded in the 51st minute, as Julio Enciso headed home from six yards out.
  • Arsenal searched for an equaliser for the remainder of the half, with Trossard coming closest yet again, but his low effort was kept out by Jason Steele.
  • Brighton doubled their lead, as Deniz Undav capitalised on a Trossard mistake and lobbed the ball over a helpless Aaron Ramsdale.
  • The Seagulls piled more misery onto Arteta’s side as Pervis Estupinan smashed the ball into the back of the net and Brighton went back to the Amex with all three points.


Are Arsenal’s Title Hopes Over?

The Gunners are now four points behind Manchester City, after suffering only their second home league defeat of the season. Mikel Arteta’s side topped the table for large parts of the season, however recent results have seen their title hopes dwindle.

A worry for Arsenal supporters will be the fitness of top scorer, Gabriel Martinelli. The Brazilian was forced off in the early stages of the match after a crunching tackle from Moises Caicedo.

A trip to the Midlands is in store for the Gunners’ next Premier League fixture, as they face Nottingham Forest. Steve Cooper’s side are in a huge relegation battle, which was boosted with their 2-2 draw with Chelsea on Saturday.

Winning the title may be a miraculous task after falling four points begind Manchester City. The Cityzens have a game in hand and can clinch the trophy in their next league fixture.
