Reserve during the last match, Leandro Trossard This time he started with Arsenal for the Gunners’ trip to Brighton, his former club.
From the warm-up, the Limburger understood that he would not experience an easy match, with a chorus of whistles coming from the local stands.
This was confirmed when the referee started the game: every touch of the ball from the Red Devil was jeered by his former supporters. Despite playing 121 games for the club, Brighton has not yet completely digested Trossard’s repeated desire to leave and his slightly forced departure in January.
Arsenal upset
To let him enjoy the experience until the end, Mikel Arteta kept him on the pitch for the entire 90 minutes. Trossard, however, was unable to make the difference.
The Gunners opened the scoring after a quarter of an hour thanks to the raid of Ethan Nwaneri, the 17-year-old replacement for Bukayo Saka (a goal that Bart Verbruggen will seek to forget as quickly as possible) but Brighton recovered with a very contested penalty at hour of play. 1-1, final score: Arsenal gives Liverpool the opportunity to take an eight-point lead with a game in hand.
