Brighton became Arsenal’s nightmare and left the Premier League almost decided, ending the ‘gunner’ dream with Enciso and Undav as Freddie Kruegers by being the author of the goals (0-2). The Emirates were quiet at the end of the game and it was no less, with 4 points separating them from Manchester City and they only have 6 left to play, so Pep Guardiola and his team are on a plate.
They are clear to Arsenal that in this game the dwarfs can grow because if there is any uncomfortable team in the Premier it is Brighton, who are playing to get into Europe next season. So it is. Arteta’s team did not have the best version of them, and they also had no luck, because the injuries of several important players were added to Gabriel Martinelli’s in the last moments, when the game was more sudden. His ankle was unable to withstand the challenge from Caicedo and he had to leave the field after 20 minutes.
The ‘gunners’ have attitude, but not much game. De Zerbi developed his plan as usual, with a dangerous release of the ball that invited the rival team to break down and Arsenal’s pressure was ineffective to take advantage of their rival’s carelessness. And as if that wasn’t enough on the ball, he didn’t generate much either. A shot from Odegaard from midrange that skimmed the post was the highlight of the first half.
Brighton were much more comfortable, with Mitoma prominent and putting the defense in trouble with mischief on the ball. The Japanese pulled the car but so did Enciso, who confirmed to be one of the revelations of this course who put a noose around Arsenal’s neck with a header just after half-time. The Paraguayan ended a goal in which Kiwior was guilty as a rookie by stepping and forgetting to defend, leaving him unmarked (51′).
The London team had no reaction capacity. nothing. The cracks did not take a step forward nor did the battery of changes contribute different things. Furthermore, the only occasion that came close to being a goal had to come from defender Gabriel.
And just when the Emirates were overjoyed, trying to make Arsenal make one last effort to tie it more by winning than playing, the far post came. And in the worst way because a serious error when releasing the ball left Undav alone to score Vaseline and sentence Arsenal (86′), who received an excessive penalty with a discount in the third from Estupiñan (95′). .
