Arsenal’s were embarrassed while their momentum dropped after being held by Brighton with a 1-1 draw at the Amex Stadium.
Arsenal’s four straight wins were stalled after they had hoped to put Brighton, who were unable to win any of their last seven games, behind in the match.
The first goal was scored in the first half by Arsenal’s Ethan Nwaneri, but Brighton took possession after the first half after they equalized the game with a contentious penalty.
Arsenal, who is currently eyeing the Premier League title as their biggest rival, Manchester City, could not do enough this season packed with the intensity to shake Brighton in the second half.
Leandro Trossard lacked the capacity to break the defense of his former team while midfielders Mikel Merino and Jorginho were unable to control the game to their victory. Leandro Trossard could not create a good shot, key pass, or cross and lost possession seven different times.
Head Coach Mikel Arteta may bank his striking need on Martin Ødegaard in the next Carabao Cup semi-final against Newcastle United while it is yet to be known if Nwaneri, who is out because of injury, and Kai Havertz will feature in the game.
Those who will make it to the game and play on the wings are Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli. Trossard, who has not done enough to claim the starting position, could do better being a substitute.
