EPL: Brighton Deepens Arsenal’s Woe After 2-1 Defeat At Emirates
Brighton on Thursday night defeated Arsenal 2-1 in the English Premier League at the Emirates as the poor run of form continues.
Arsenal’s interim manager Freddie Ljungberg is yet to win a single game after he replaced Unai Emery as the Gunners boss.
The north London side have not won a match in nine games, their worst run since 1977.
A heavy hush blanketed the stadium as Adam Webster opened the scoring in the 36th minute before Neal Maupay bagged an 80th-minute winner after Alexandre Lacazette had brought the home side back on level terms.
Arsenal, by virtue of this loss, is 10th in the Premier League standings, while Brighton occupies 13th spot.
Meanwhile, defender Hector Bellerin said after the loss that he was lost for words to explain the club’s poor run.
“I don’t know what to say. I have the feeling that whatever we do it doesn’t come outright. The team gave its best, we created chances, we defended good but it seems like we need so many chances to score and teams score every chance against us. I am lost for words a little bit,” he told Amazon.
“Every single player has given 100%. When we go out on to the pitch we want to win and give our best. I feel that our team was full of energy, it’s hard to take. We have to keep going, I am sure 100% that results will come.

“Football is like life sometimes, you go through ups and downs. I have won trophies here, had good seasons and bad seasons.
“Freddie has helped the team a lot this week. He has added a lot of energy to the dressing room.”
