Arsenal continued their impressive form in the Premier League as they triumphantly defended second spot with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Brighton on Sunday.
The Gunners dominated the game from start to finish, creating numerous chances and controlling possession for much of the match. However, it was not until the 75th minute that they finally broke through.
Emile Smith Rowe was the man who did the dirty work, making a stunning run down the left flank before crossing for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to head home from close range.
Aubameyang's goal was a testament to Arsenal's attacking prowess, but it was also a reminder of how tough it is to keep up with the pace of the Premier League.
Despite conceding two goals in their last two matches, Arsenal have now won five of their last six games and sit just one point behind leaders Manchester City.
The Gunners will be looking to build on this momentum when they host West Ham United next weekend, while Brighton will be hoping to bounce back from their recent defeat at the hands of Liverpool.
Overall, it was another solid display from Arsenal as they continue to be one of the most consistent teams in the league. They may not have been able to secure top spot just yet, but they remain firmly in contention for a top-four finish.
