Arsenal slowed down at Brighton and leaves the field open to Liverpool at the top of the Premier League

Ethan Nwaneri’s personal exploit

This Saturday Gunners confirmed their difficulties in shining away from London this season in the Premier League, having notably lost to Bournemouth (0-2, October 19) and Newcastle (0-1, November 2). In Brighton, they lacked speed, struggled to produce fluid attacking play and were not dangerous on set pieces, which nevertheless constitute their undeniable strong point. As a result, the Londoners opened the scoring with a personal exploit from a promising young talent, Ethan Nwaneri (17 years old), who, after having a relay with Mikel Merino, accelerated on the right side, before entering the area and hit low to the ground with the left foot (16th, 0-1).
