Man City’s 3-0 win at Everton in the early match seemed to affect the psychology of the team under Mikel Arteta.
Many fans even left the field after seeing the home team concede the second goal.
Arsenal dreamed of winning the Premier League for the first time since the undefeated 2003-2004 season under legendary coach Arsene Wenger.

With 248 days, Arsenal will almost certainly become the Premier League’s leading club with the most days without being able to win the championship.
Arsenal is still second with 81 points, four points behind Man City and has played one more match.

Yesterday, Arsenal was without left back Oleksandr Zinchenko due to a calf injury.
In the first half, the `Gunners` did not dominate but had enough opportunities to make a difference.
Wasting the opportunity, Arsenal paid a heavy price in the second half.
Julio Enciso headed the opening goal for Brighton when Arsenal midfielder Jakub Kiwior was injured and kneeling on the field.
Arsenal’s hopes faded in the 87th minute, when Trossard failed to pass, causing the ball to bounce to substitute Deniz Undav.
The match had eight minutes of extra time, but it only prolonged the pain for the home fans.
Arsenal have conceded 23 goals at home in the Premier League this season.

Arsenal: Ramsdale, White, Kiwior, Gabriel, Tierney, Odegaard (Smith-Rowe 77), Jorginho (Nelson 60), Xhaka (Partey 60), Saka, Jesus (Nketiah 77), Martinelli (Trossard 20).
