Statistics: Arsenal 2-0 Brighton
Arsenal scored a goal quite early.
The large gap in class prevents Brighton from creating an earthquake on Arsenal’s field.
Iwobi’s goal to increase the score to 2-0 was distinctly Arsenal.
In addition to these two goals, Arsenal also created many other good opportunities that if they knew how to save, they would have won more.
At the end of the first half, taking advantage of the Brighton player’s careless pass, Lacazette had space but his shot was too light.
Arsenal could have won more heavily if they had made good use of the opportunities.
Midway through the second half, Lewis Dunk and Solly March consecutively cleared the ball right in front of the goal line, saving Brighton from losing from two shots from Sanchez and Kolasinac.
The most dangerous situation Brighton created was Solly March’s kick against the post, which took place 10 minutes after Monreal’s opening goal.
Brighton is ranked 14th with seven points.
