Arsenal player ratings vs Brighton: Ben White torn apart by Kaoru Mitoma as Gunners' title hopes go up in smoke

Mikel Arteta's side crashed to a heavy home defeat at the hands of the Seagulls that all but hands the Premier League trophy to Manchester City

Arsenal saw their faint title chances all but ended with a painful 3-0 defeat against Brighton on Sunday. After seeing Manchester City win at Everton earlier in the day, the Gunners knew they couldn't afford to slip up if they wanted to keep up the pressure on Pep Guardiola's side.

But Julio Enciso's close-range header early in the second half and two late goals from Deniz Undav and Pervis Estupinan were enough to earn a deserved three points for the visitors as they gave their own European hopes a huge boost.

The defeat leaves Arsenal four points behind City with just two games to play. Guardiola's side still have a game in hand and they will win the title next weekend if either Arsenal lose at Nottingham Forest on Saturday or City beat Chelsea the following day.
