A win against Brighton would have improved Arsenal's title fight with Manchester City, but Arsenal's 3-0 defeat against Brighton meant that Manchester City went well ahead of Arsenal on points.
Arsenal are 4 points behind Manchester City after playing one more match. If they had won against Brighton, Arsenal would have had 84 points and Manchester City would have had 85 points, that is, the two teams would have been equally ahead in the title fight, but it did not happen.
There is no longer a thought that Arsenal will win the Premier League this season because Arsenal's winning mentality is still not strong in the Premier League.
Arsenal fans' hope lies in the fight against Brighton and it turns out they left the Emirates Stadium before the game ended for the visitors (Brighton) to win.
What's interesting in the battle for position now is no longer Arsenal and Manchester City, but Liverpool and Manchester United because Newcastle managed to beat Brighton yesterday in round 25.
Manchester City may be going for the league title along with the Champions League title this season.
From the appearance and consistency of Manchester City so far, Pep Guardiola has a great opportunity to lift 3 trophies or a triple winner at the same time this season.
