Arsenal The Gunners lose points and are already two points behind the fourth line, the reason for this is the away match of the previous round against Brighton, in which the Londoners missed two points. The trip to Brighton began with positive emotions for the guests, the score was opened by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the Gabonese brought Arsenal ahead with an accurate shot already in the seventh minute of the game. Such a good start should have been the foundation for the development of success, closer to the middle of the first half, Aubameyang could double the score, the attacker jumped out to a rendezvous with the goalkeeper, but he failed to beat the gate guard for the second time. The home team reacted instantly to Aubameyang’s unrealized moment, in the 35th minute, Jurgen Locadia accepted a discount from the opponent’s defender and beat the opponent’s goalkeeper – 1:1. This development of events sent the Arsenal players to a small knockdown, due to which they completely lost the thread of the game. Throughout the second half, the Gunners were looking for themselves and tried to send the second ball into the opponent’s goal, but Brighton players turned out to score a goal each time, and Bird Leno had to enter the game. The Arsenal goalkeeper was the most prominent person among the guests in the second half.
