The two teams exchanged attacks on both sides of the ball from the start and never stopped at all, but Arsenal
Brighton's lucky to get a head start.
Actually played quite well, but being a goal down at the start made it really hard to control the tempo.
(Both teams start)
The game started with Arsenal in the second minute.
Then it went in, Zinchenko leaned into the center and scored on Brighton's
The ball broke from Lamptey's feet on the counter attack and bounced straight to Martinelli on the left, whose shot from the left of the box was refracted twice and bounced to Saka on the right, and this was in front of Brighton!
Trying to counter-strike on the counter-strike, Brighton.
With only three defenders left, there's no one left to guard Saka, who easily stops the ball and shoots it into the goal.

Leading at the start of the game, Arsenal
The bottom line is that it's a good time, but that's when Brighton
Showed a strong counterattack posture, the left side of the triple elbows with a very fast speed played a few Arsenal
On the right, the better part of the game was the right side where Lamptey and March's stacked attacks were very accurate in hitting Zinchenko behind the ball and on several occasions had played into a lot of space, but Brighton
Attackers coming up the middle to meet the attackers already have been Arsenal
living in exile
Arsenal (name)
The two backs on this side of the field were careful to keep Brighton out of the center.
's counter top, Lalana and Gilmour both struggled to get through, which kept striker Trossard under the center backs' wraps, but Xhaka and Thomas Partey couldn't cover the edge and Brighton
The two flanks of the attack were just too fast for Arsenal
BenWhite on the right basically has a hold on San Kaoru, but Zinchenko on the left looks like he's having a hard time.
Brighton
Dropping points at the start is key, they don't want to get by Arsenal
Controlling the tempo so pressing the attack all the way up the flanks, the defenders also stayed up, Arsenal
Also the same with the very sharp Martinelli & Saka constantly blitzing Brighton
The difference between the two teams was in the midfield, where Arsenal
of Ødegaard was in just too good a form, and several of his passes had been indescribably sharp, almost always bouncing first time, and could constantly find Martinelli causing Brighton to
Close call on the right, Brighton
Not being able to press Ødegaard was actually the main reason for the defeat, Arsenal at 39 points
A corner kick was cleared and Ødegaard, on the outside of the box, went straight over and cracked a shot to make it 2-0

Only two minutes into the second half, Brighton
Still trying to press the attack when Arsenal
Another counterattack saw Thomas Partey play a pass straight down the middle to Martinelli on the left, he raced down the left side and had a 9-yard shot blocked by the keeper, but Nketiah added the extras from the 6-yard line to stretch the lead to 3-0!
Brighton
The eagerness to counter-attack resulted in the two wings of the back four often being short of a man and the back four was also absent, Arsenal
The counter-attacks were extremely fast, with Martinelli, Nketiah & Saka often killing it upfield in a flash, so that it actually worked in stopping the Arsenal
Brighton on offense.
It's never been easy to have a numerical advantage
Both coaches mobilized at the same time on 61 points, with Arsenal
Taking off the already tired wing backs and replacing them with Tierney and Kenyo Tomiyasu, Brighton
Instead, they replaced Lallana and Trossard, opposite Sarmiento and Ferguson, and from the result Brighton
The switch was more successful, with the middle going from a distribution to a tougher insertion also getting to the edge to support Sarmiento, and Ferguson's range of motion was great
It wasn't long before Brighton was at 65.
In the counterattack, Gilmour saw the moment Thomas Partey stepped forward and passed the ball to Groß, who then saw Kenyo Tomiyasu move forward to break the ball and pass the ball forward, and then Kaoru Mitaka received the ball at the 12-yard box and scored easily without being watched.

Morale-boosting Brighton
They wanted to keep attacking, but their backfield was also quite tired and pressed quite far ahead, resulting in Arsenal's first goal at 71.
On the counter-attack, Ødegaard suddenly made a quick move to receive the ball, and without stopping the ball, he directly sent a long pass to the left, Martinelli had already started to receive the ball and then charged at high speed, Lamptey had already chased him with all his strength but still couldn't catch up with him, Martinelli rushed to the penalty box and easily shot the goal.
The game was thought to be over, but immediately at 75 Brighton
Watching Arsenal
Ferguson was chasing Saliba near the halfway line, but Saliba made a mistake in clearing the ball, allowing Ferguson to rush into the box and shoot the ball past the keeper.
It's quite destructive when it comes to backstabbing.
At the 88:00 mark, Kobayashi Kaoru scored a beautiful goal, but unfortunately there was a slight offside which was blown away.
4-2 away win at Brighton
Brighton
Actually played quite a destructive game, Arsenal
Nor could they be completely prevented from attacking down the sides, there just wasn't enough power in the middle of the field to insert themselves, and Arsenal
Quite a bit of luck in taking the lead in the opener also allowed Brighton to
into a non-attacking situation, giving Arsenal
Lots of good chances to counter, otherwise this game could have been a lot tighter between the two teams
Arsenal after this game
Already ahead of City.
Seven points is a pretty good margin, and with the season almost halfway over, everyone is now waiting to see if the Gunners can go on a winning streak
