Arsenal narrowly beats Brighton 1-0, securing second place in standings.

Arsenal secured their second-place position in the Premier League standings after a narrow victory over Brighton on Sunday. The Gunners were able to secure the win thanks to a late goal from Nicolas Pepe.

The match was a closely contested affair with both teams creating chances throughout the game. However, it was Arsenal who came out on top, with Pepe scoring his first goal for the club in the 87th minute.

The victory means that Arsenal will be looking to maintain their lead at the top of the table as they face off against Chelsea next weekend. However, there is still a chance for the Gunners to drop down to third place if Manchester City win their game against Aston Villa.

Despite the loss of captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang due to injury, Arsenal managed to put together a solid performance and secure the win. They have now won four of their last five games and are looking strong ahead of the final few weeks of the season.

Overall, this was a crucial victory for Arsenal and they will be hoping to continue their good form going into the final stretch of the season.
