Arsenal produced an uninspiring but winning performance against Brighton & Hove Albion on Wednesday night, Bukayo Saka scoring the only goal of the game as the Gunners capitalized on dropped points for Premier League title rivals Manchester City.
Brighton were the side in the ascendancy before and after Saka’s deflected opener in the ninth minute. His whipped effort ricocheted off Carlos Baleba on its way beyond the bamboozled Bart Verbruggen and Arsenal were fortunate to be ahead at the break following a tepid performance.
