Martin Odegaard let slip that Brighton's "direct" approach proved to be Arsenal's downfall during Sunday's crushing 3-0 defeat.
The Gunners' Premier League title hopes are now in tatters, four points behind Manchester City having played one game more. Captain Odegaard, who couldn't continue his rich vein of form, and his team-mates were blitzed by in-form Brighton, who on multiple occasions cut straight through Arsenal's defence.
Post-match, the Norwegian midfielder accidentally revealed how his side can be beaten, telling Sky Sports: "We did OK in the first half with the high press and could have been dangerous and scored some goals. The game changed a little bit in the second half, when they went direct it was a bit too easy for them to get through. I don't know why at the moment. I don't have any answers."
