Naul Maupay scored a 95th minute goal to give Brighton all three points. After his hand in the cause of Arsenal’s goalkeeper’s injury were he seemed to have pushed Bernd Leno whlie contesting for an aerial the Arsenal Goalkeeper landed awkwardly on his knee prompting him to be stretched out of the field adding to Arsenal’s injury list.
