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:

FULL TIME: BRIGHTON 1-1 ARSENAL 

Brighton make a dent in Arsenal's top four ambitions with a well earned point courtesy of Locadia's equaliser after Aubameyang gave Arsenal a much deserved lead. 

However, Arsenal failed to kick on and Brighton were good value for the point and had a few chances to win it themselves. 

A good game to watch in the end which does move Arsenal back into the top four...for now.
