Share this article

Arsenal moved seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table following a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Wednesday.

The Gunners scored the decisive goal through Bukayo Saka, who converted a low strike, securing all three points for Mikel Arteta’s side.

The win coincided with Manchester City’s clash against Nottingham Forest at the Etihad, where City initially took the lead through Antoine Semenyo. Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White equalized, and although Rodri restored City’s advantage, Elliott Anderson struck a superb finish to secure a point for the visitors.

The result leaves Arsenal comfortably ahead in the title race, with Arteta’s men looking increasingly poised to challenge for the league crown.
