Mikel Arteta endured Roberto de Zerbi doing a Jose Mourinho as Brighton finally crushed Arsenal ’s lingering title dream.
Second-half goals from Julio Enciso, substitute Deniz Undav and Pervis Estupinian broke north London hearts and sent Brighton boss De Zerbi racing down the Emirates touchline.
Arsenal’s defeat means City will retain the title with a victory over Chelsea next Sunday. Arteta apologised for his side’s collapse and said: “I hate the feeling of letting people down when they are expecting something. That’s the biggest regret I have today and I have to apologise for that.
