- Arsenal vs Brighton finished 2-1 in favour of the visitors
- Maupay and Webster netted a goal each to gift the Seagulls a memorable win
- Arsenal now sit 10th on the league standings with 19 points, four off relegation
A buoyant Brighton side on Thursday night, December 5, inflicted more misery on Freddie Ljungberg after stunning Arsenal 2-1 in a thrilling Premier League clash played at Emirates Stadium.
The encounter was Ljungberg's second since replacing sacked Unai Emery on interim capacity, with the first finishing in a 2-2 draw at Norwich last weekend.
The Swede boss was therefore desperate to open his Emirates account with a win in a bid to turn around Arsenal's campaign after a torrid start to the new season.
But the home match did not go according to plan, with the visitors snatching all the three points from the north London club.
Brighton took a deserved lead through Adam Webster who thumped home in the 36th minute after Arsenal failed to clear from a corner.
Alexander Lacazette would however draw the hosts level in the 50th minute, with the Frenchman planting a clinical header off a corner.
The Gunners thought they had taken the lead 13 minutes later through David Luiz, but the Brazilian's effort was ruled out for an offside.
With just 10 minutes left to stoppage time, Neal Maupay restored the Seagulls' lead, with the Frenchman getting on the end of Mooy's cross to make it 2-1.
Graham Potter's men eventually managed to hold to claim maximum points away from home.
