Four English Premier League games took place today. The most important one was between Brighton and Arsenal, in which the Gunners suffered a loss.
It was 2-1 for the hosts at the Amex stadium, who scored the winning goal in the fifth minute of the injury time, through Neil Maupay. The same player was in the middle of attention earlier because he injured Arsenal’s goalkeeper, Bernd Leno.
Some of the visiting players wanted to get into a fight with him following the final whistle, but fortunately, the situation remained calm.
Nicolas Pepe scored the opener, and Dunk delivered the initial goal for the hosts. Arsenal is 10th now, with two straight defeats in just a few days, while Brighton sits 15th, five points from the relegation zone.
