"It's a massively significant night in the title race. Looking at that now, Arsenal have become huge favourites. But there's hardly anything in it. Every game is really tough, it's going to go right to the wire. Don't get carried away. That was a great step in the right direction but it's only one game. It can quickly disappear so you focus on the next match."
"It was tortuous to watch at times but Gabriel's performance at the back was absolutely immense. It was tense but you've got to keep going, Havertz came off the bench and gave a touch of class to the team. Calafiori as well gave Arsenal better balance in the second half. It was bit nervy at times from Declan Rice but boy that is an unbelievable result for Arsenal."
Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory over Brighton through Bukayo Saka's deflected strike in the ninth minute, maintaining another clean sheet with a superb defensive display. Gabriel delivered an absolutely immense performance at the back despite William Saliba's absence. Declan Rice had an uncharacteristically nervy display, while second-half substitutes Kai Havertz and Riccardo Calafiori provided improved balance and class. The result, combined with Manchester City dropping points at home to Nottingham Forest, has positioned Arsenal as huge favourites for their first Premier League title in 22 years. However, caution remains warranted as the title race remains competitive and every game presents significant challenges.
