"It was a really difficult one with everything we've been through the last few weeks. We knew it would be a tough test and we went through it. The moment of the players, the issues that we had. Big credit to the boys because they effort they put in was astronomical. There are some other things we have to do better."
"We know what game we want to play but here is a very tough place to come and play well. The important thing is the way we compete and to get the clean sheet and three points. Very happy but need to rest now because we go ahead."
"When I saw the player was free I didn't have time to jump to him so I stepped up and needed to cover the goal. I think it was a magic moment."
Arsenal secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Brighton, with Bukayo Saka scoring the decisive goal. Despite being out-attempted nearly two-to-one, the Gunners managed the win through defensive resilience and goalkeeper David Raya's strong performance after an early error. The result, combined with Manchester City's dropped points, increased Arsenal's title hopes for their first Premier League championship in 20 years. Manager Mikel Arteta praised his players' effort and competitive spirit, noting the team's defensive adjustments due to missing players in the backline. Defender Gabriel Magalhaes highlighted the importance of securing a clean sheet and three points in a challenging away fixture.
