Arsenal dropped more points in their pursuit of Liverpool in the Premier League title race after a bizarre incident between William Saliba and Joao Pedro resulted in a Brighton equaliser at the Amex Stadium.

The Premier League has issued a statement on Brighton’s controversial penalty in their 1-1 draw with Arsenal on Saturday. The Seagulls were able to take a point off Mikel Arteta’s men, thanks to a penalty from Joao Pedro in the second half.

Arsenal travel down to Brighton in the Premier League later today. The Gunners came from behind to beat Brentford on New Year’s Day, kicking off 2025 in the best possible fashion. Indeed, Mikel Arteta’s could go three points behind leaders Liverpool with a victory on the south coast – albeit Arne Slot’s team will have two games in hand.
