Story summary

On September 19, Arsenal faced Brighton at the Amex Stadium in Brighton for a Premier League match. Despite arriving on the back of seven consecutive wins, Arsenal suffered an embarrassing 3-0 defeat to Brighton, their first loss by a three-goal margin in over three years. Key defensive issues plagued Arsenal; players like Jurrien Timber and Ezri Konsa were particularly poor, allowing Brighton's attackers time and space to score from distance. Mikel Arteta’s team struggled with Brighton's pressing game, often failing to mark key opponents effectively. The loss brings into question the sustainability of Arsenal's recent form, especially their defensive solidity, as they face a challenging period ahead with upcoming international breaks.

Narrative

With Cristhian Mosquera yet to return from the muscle injury he suffered against Aston Villa last month, Arsenal are light on options at right-back after Martin Zubimendi was deployed there for the 4-2 win over Ipswich. Ezri Konsa is able to cover right-back, but in Mosquera’s absence has been partnering Gabriel in central defence with William Saliba a long-term absentee due to a back injury.
