Not only the match, now the breathtaking battle is going on in the points table of the English Premier League. One sleeps sitting on the throne, wakes up to see the throne occupied by another. The situation of Arsenal and Liverpool is currently in such a state.
If Liverpool win one match they are at the top. If Arsenal win the match again, they are at the top. The same thing happened last Saturday night. The previous day Liverpool was at the top. Today Arsenal top the table by removing them.
Arsenal went top with a 3-0 win over Brighton on Saturday night. The Gunners have again occupied the top spot by removing Liverpool.
However, in the previous match on the night, Manchester City had won and dropped Arsenal to third place. But after a while, Arsenal came to the top by reducing Man City to three.
After winning 10 consecutive matches, Arsenal’s points in 31 matches are currently 71. Liverpool is in second place with 70 points after playing one less match. On the other hand, Man City has 70 points in 31 matches. City-Liverpool are equal on points but Liverpool are on top of the table due to goal difference.
Brighton started well at home yesterday. But in the 33rd minute, Brighton’s date Lemty fouled Arsenal’s forward Gabriel Jesus inside the box, and Arsenal got a penalty. Bukayo Saka converted the penalty.
Arsenal started to play more aggressively in the second half after leading 1-0 in the first half. In the 62nd minute, Arsenal doubled the gap with Kai Havertz’s goal assisted by midfielder Zourinho. Then in the 89th minute, the final nail in Brighton’s coffin was knocked by Lindro Trossard, who came on as a substitute.
As a result, Arsenal returned with a big 3-0 victory from Brighton’s home ground. Brighton have lost a league game at home for the first time since last August.
