Continuation of the 20th day of the Premier League this Saturday with Arsenal traveling to Brighton. In very good form, Mikel Arteta’s team remained on a series of 9 matches without defeat in the league. We therefore had to continue this momentum to hope to get closer to Liverpool, currently the only leader. And everything started well for Arsenal in this match with the opening goal of the nugget Ethan Nwaneri. After a great number, he finished from the left and gave his team the advantage (1-0, 16th). His second goal of the season. He thus became the sixth player in history to score more than one goal in the Premier League before turning 18 (and the first for Arsenal) after Wayne Rooney (7), Michael Owen (5), Danny Cadamarteri (3) , James Milner (3) and Federico Macheda (2).
But upon returning from the locker room, Brighton showed another face, much more attractive and ended up equalizing. William Saliba was guilty of an original foul in the area since, while trying to head the duel, he hit the head of Joao Pedro who had just beaten him. The Brazilian striker did not tremble and transformed the penalty himself (1-1, 61st). Enough to push the Gunners to react to win and not miss an opportunity to put pressure on the Reds. But at an open end to the match, Declan Rice’s teammates lacked precision in the last move and also left space for Brighton on the counterattack. Ultimately, the score will no longer move. Arsenal continue to be undefeated, but Arsenal lose two points which can be costly in the title race. A bad result because Liverpool can take the lead this Sunday with still 2 matches in hand.
