Arsenal's title hopes are all but over after they were beaten 3-0 at home by a Brighton side who were well worth the victory.
The Gunners players kicked off well aware that Manchester City had taken a huge step to a fifth Premier League title in six seasons courtesy of a 3-0 win away at Everton. Ahead of the game, Mikel Arteta insisted that "nothing changes" for his side despite the City result.
Anything less than a win would all but end Arsenal's slim title hopes and yet they were outplayed for the overwhelming majority of this tie. Brighton started on the front foot and despite some half-chances for the hosts, it was always the visitors who looked more likely to strike.
