ARSENAL ARE LEFT AT SEA

Albion strike again to end Gunners Emirates run

- JOHN CROSS

MIKEL ARTETA saw Arsenal crash out when their Brighton curse struck again.

The Gunners had won their previous 12 home games in all competitions, the last team to beat them at the Emirates being Albion in April.

Brighton deserved it that day and ran riot again last night, a much-changed Arsenal line-up looking a pale shadow of the team which has stormed to the top of the Premier League.

Seagulls boss Roberto De Zerbi has taken his time to get his feet under the table but now has his men playing some beautiful stuff again.

Danny Welbeck, Kaoru Mitoma and Tariq Lamptey - with his first goal in two years brought their hosts crashing back down to earth after their remarkable start to the season.
