Brighton 1-1 Arsenal: Joa Pedro’s penalty holds Gunners to draw

Brighton held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw at home. Arsenal took the lead early with 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri scoring his second Premier League goal, converting a well-timed run and finish.

Brighton responded with strong attacking play, but their poor finishing prevented them from capitalizing on Arsenal's mistakes in the first half. The Gunners remained lackluster into the second half, and in the 61st minute, Brighton’s Joao Pedro won and converted a penalty after a clash with William Saliba.

The draw leaves Arsenal five points behind league leaders Liverpool, who have two games in hand, while Brighton’s point lifts them into the top half of the table.
