Arsenal traveled to Brighton for the 32nd round match of the English Premier League. The Gunners could not afford to drop points, considering the tight competition with Liverpool and Manchester City at the top of the table.

Arsenal created several dangerous moments early in the match, with attempts from Jesus and Saka lacking accuracy. In the 33rd minute, the referee awarded a penalty for a foul on Jesus in Brighton's penalty area, which Saka confidently converted.

For the Arsenal winger, this goal marked his 14th of the current English championship season, equalling his own record for most goals in a single Premier League campaign.

The second half began cautiously, with both teams waiting for their opponent to make a mistake. Brighton was the first to falter as defensive disorganization allowed Jorginho to exploit space and deliver a precise pass to Havertz, who finished accurately. Trossard sealed the match with Arsenal's third goal, making it 3:0.

Arsenal has only dropped points once in the league in 2024, with 10 wins and 1 draw. Additionally, the team boasts the most reliable defense in Europe, having conceded only 4 goals in the current year's league campaign.

Arsenal now leads the Premier League table, surpassing Liverpool by one point. However, Liverpool will play their 32nd round match against Manchester United on Sunday.
