Arsenal solidified their Premier League lead with a 1-0 victory over Brighton on March 4, 2026, stretching their advantage to seven points over Manchester City.
Saka Seals Vital Away Win
Bukayo Saka’s 68th-minute strike—his 12th goal this season—clinched three crucial points at Amex Stadium, extending Arsenal’s unbeaten run to nine matches (7W, 2D). Mikel Arteta’s side dominated possession (62%) and chances (18-7 shots), though Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen’s saves kept it tight until Saka’s curling finish.
Key subs Havertz and Rice controlled midfield late; clean sheet marks 8th in 15 away games.
