Arsene Wenger has suffered a further setback as Arsenal manager with the Gunners succumbing to a 2-1 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion in Sunday’s clash at the Amex Stadium.
Goals from Lewis Dunk and Glenn Murray gave Brighton a two-goal advantage and although Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang halved the deficit before half time, Arsenal were unable to force an equaliser after the break.
The Gunners remain eight points adrift of fifth-placed Chelsea, but Brighton have moved into the top half of the standings with their third successive victory in the top flight.
Manchester City 1-0 Chelsea
If Man City continue in this fashion, they could become the first team to get more than 100 points.
Also, it was Chelsea’s fourth defeat in five EPL matches and eight in total, five points behind Tottenham, who occupy the last Champions League slot
