HEAVY DEFEAT FOR ARSENAL AWAY AT BRIGHTON

One of the most striking surprises of the week in the English Premier League took place at Brighton's home ground. Brighton, under the management of Fabian Hurzeler, shocked league leaders Arsenal by defeating them with a clear score of 3-0 at home. Stepping onto the pitch with nostalgic kits specially prepared for the 125th anniversary of the club, Brighton players presented an unforgettable victory to their fans on this historic day. Mikel Arteta's students experienced an unexpected collapse away from home. The host team broke the deadlock with a goal scored by Gross in the 31st minute of the match. In the final moments of the first half, Kostoulas took the stage in the 45th minute, doubling the lead, and Brighton went to the dressing room with a great advantage. The home team, not slowing down in the second half, carried the score to 3-0 with a stylish goal from Andres in the 57th minute, exhausting all of Arsenal's hopes. The substitutions made by Mikel Arteta in the remaining minutes were not enough to change the course of the match. Ferdi Kadioglu received a yellow card in the stoppage time of the first half and was replaced by Costinha in the 77th minute. Following this heavy defeat, league leaders Arsenal remained at 12 points and took a heavy blow. Fabian Hurzeler's team increased their points to 10.
