Arsenal maintained their position as second in the Premier League standings after defeating Brighton 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Gunners were looking to bounce back from their disappointing draw against Liverpool last week and they got off to a strong start when Aubameyang scored in the fifth minute. However, the hosts struggled to keep the lead for long and the visitors took advantage by equalizing just before half-time through a fine goal from Henderson. Despite this, Arsenal managed to maintain their composure and went ahead again early in the second half thanks to another well-taken goal from Saka. Henderson was denied his chance to win it for Brighton with a stunning save from Bernd Leno, but it was too little too late as Arsenal held on to secure all three points. The victory sees Arsenal remain in second place in the table, two points behind leaders Manchester City, who have played one game more than them. For Brighton, it was a disappointing result as they dropped into mid-table with only four wins in their last 14 games. Overall, it was another good performance from Arsenal, who showed their class against a quality opponent like Brighton. The team will be hoping to continue their winning ways in their next fixture against Crystal Palace. |
