According to the Daily Express, the hosts went down thanks to goals from Julio Enciso, Deniz Undav and Pervis Estupinan.

Enciso broke the deadlock shortly after half-time following a goalless first half at the Emirates, with the Spaniard tapping home after he was set up by Kaoru Mitoma.

Undav doubled the advantage soon after before Estupinan put the icing on the cake with Brighton's third at stoppage time.

Morgan slams Arsenal stars

Piers Morgan was among millions of Arsenal supporters who took to social media to react to the disappointing result.

The British journalist had no kind words for Arsenal's stars, describing their performance against Brighton as 'pathetic' and 'spiritless.'

"All over. Totally outplayed by a team that just lost 1-5 to Everton. A horribly lacklustre, passion-devoid, spiritless, pathetic performance that cements an inexplicably dismal run-in to a season which promised so much. Bottom line: we choked. #afc," he tweeted.

Arsenal will now be hoping for nothing short of a miracle to stand any realistic chance of beating Man City to the Premier League title.

Mikel Arteta's men find themselves sitting four points behind City, who still have a game to play.

Arteta takes blame for slip up

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has appeared to blame himself after the Gunners seemingly surrendered the Premier League title to Manchester City on Sunday.

The north Londoners looked on course to secure this season's EPL crown after an incredible run of form and results under Arteta.

The Emirates dwellers had been topping the standings for the better part of the campaign and had an eight-point advantage over City at some point.

However, Arsenal's disastrous form in the closing stages of the season have seen the title slip off their hands, leaving the Citizens in the driving seat in the title race.
