Arsenal profit from rivals’ draws to go seven points clear

January 1, 2023

Arsenal profited from slip-ups by their nearest rivals to beat a feisty Brighton & Hove Albion 4-2 and go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Bukayo Saka gave Arsenal a dream start, scoring after only 66 seconds. Martin Odegaard doubled the lead before half-time with his seventh goal of the season.

Eddie Nketiah added a third 105 seconds into the second half, but Kaoru Mitoma gave Brighton hope of a comeback with a nicely worked goal.

But, just six minutes later, Gabriel Martinelli restored the three-goal lead after a wonderful through-ball from Odegaard.

Brighton fought back through Evan Ferguson’s first Premier League goal, but, after Mitoma had a second goal overturned by VAR, Arsenal’s three points were secured.

They have 43 points, seven clear of Manchester City. Brighton drop to eighth with 24 points.
