Arsenal suffered a major blow in their pursuit of top four on Saturday after they were defeated by Brighton at the Emirates stadium.
A 2-1 loss was enough to condemn the Gunners to further problems in the race for Champions League football as Tottenham Hotspur eased past Aston Villa in the midlands. Although they picked up a late consolation through Martin Odegaard, Mikel Arteta's side fell victim to a 2-1 loss and are now in a difficult predicament moving forward.
Arsenal now sit fifth in the table, three points behind their arch rivals having played a game less. But with the North London Derby set to be played at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, it's going to be very difficult for Arsenal to takeover Spurs in the race.
