Brighton hit back to deny Arsenal all three points

The points were shared at the Amex

Premier League weekend round-up

Arsenal stumbled in their attempts to keep the pressure on in the race for the top four as they dropped points at Brighton.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opened the scoring but Jurgen Locadia's equaliser saw the points shared at the Amex.

Here's how it played out:

76 mins: CHANCE BRIGHTON! 

Shane Duffy dinks a great ball over the Arsenal defence who are once again all at sea and Solly March is bearing down on goal with Leno looking lost. 

March though couldn't find any calm and his dinked effort went miles over the bar. 

Shame for the seagulls.

Andone is on for Murray who has had a disappointing evening.

79 mins: BRIGHTON CHANCE! 

Brighton doing all the running at the moment and Locadia is found on the left hand side and he takes the ball into the box. 

He unleashes a shot on goal which goes narrowly wide. 

They've done well today after a sticky start and are probably good value at the moment.

84 mins: BLIMEY! 

Arsenal almost score in the most bizarre way! 

Solly March attempts to clear the ball but his clearance boots the back of Iwobi's leg and the ball trickles towards goal. 

To the relief of most in the Amex, the ball trickles wide of Ryan's goal.

85 mins: Knockaert replaces the goalscorer Locadia. 

Can​ he help Brighton win it?

89 mins Brighton 1-1 Arsenal 

A good cross from Bernardo beats two Brighton players and goes out for a throw. 

Not a lot of time to go.

​3 minutes of additional time.

90+1 mins: Sliced clearance gives Arsenal a corner.... 

Can they snatch it?

90+2 mins: Half hearted appeals for an Arsenal penalty. 

Nothing given.
