"The Gunners now hold a seven-point lead at the top of table despite criticism of their ugly style of play rearing its head again. Mikel Arteta's side will not care though if they keep racking up victories, however."

"Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler invoked the spirit of former Australian cricket captain Bill Woodfull after the Seagulls' 1-0 loss at home to Arsenal on Thursday morning. Hurzeler shared the same accusation for Arsenal. The Gunners have been ridiculed all season long for their strength once the ball goes dead."
Arsenal extended their Premier League lead to seven points following a midweek victory, though their aggressive set-piece tactics continue to draw criticism.

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler criticized Arsenal's physical approach, comparing their style unfavorably to proper football.
