  • Thursday, Bukayo Saka scored a deflected ninth-minute goal on his 300th Arsenal appearance at the AMEX Stadium, extending their lead to seven points.
  • Missing Saliba, Arsenal defended resolutely while Brighton controlled possession but lacked imagination in attack, leaving Arsenal rarely troubled.
  • Gabriel intervened early to deny a lob, and Saka's ninth-minute shot deflected off Carlos Baleba before slipping through Bart Verbruggen's legs for the winner.
  • On the same night, Manchester City dropped two points in the title race after a 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest, while Arsenal's win extended their lead to seven points.
  • The two teams will meet at the Etihad on April 19 and Wednesday's results could have a huge impact on the title race when the dust settles.
