Arsenal’s unbeaten run in the Premier League stretched to nine games, but they were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion at the American Express Community Stadium.
The match saw teenager Ethan Nwaneri score his second Premier League goal, putting Arsenal ahead early on.
However, Brighton’s Joao Pedro equalized from the penalty spot in the second half, securing a deserved draw for the Seagulls.
Mikel Arteta’s side had opportunities to take all three points, but ultimately, they couldn’t capitalize on their chances.
The draw keeps Arsenal in second place, but they could have closed the gap on leaders Liverpool with a win.
Brighton, on the other hand, extended their winless run to seven games, but they showed resilience and determination to earn a point against a strong Arsenal side.
The Seagulls’ manager, Fabian Hurzeler, will be pleased with his team’s performance, particularly Joao Pedro, who continues to impress with his skills and goal-scoring ability.
