Arsenal 1 – 2 Brighton (Match highlights)

Arsenal 1 – 2 Brighton (Match highlights).

The Gunners have now lost all  nine games without a win after losing 2-1 to Brighton at Emirates Stadium on Thursday night .

Their new interin boss, Freddie Ljungberg was just a month old the last time Arsenal went nine games without a win.

But tonight, in his first home match as interim boss, the Swede saw his side equal their worst run in 42 years following a 2-1 defeat to Brighton.

You have to go back to March 1977 to find a run as wretched as the one Arsenal are on right now. That’s how bad things have got.

Ljungberg has overseen the last two games and although there have been some signs of promise in both, it’s tough to really say there has been a marked improvement since the sacking of Unai Emery.

If the Arsenal hierarchy had hoped Ljungberg’s appointment would bring with it the famed ‘new manager bounce’ they will have been left disappointed.

The hosts were awful for large parts of tonight’s game, just as they have been all season. There was no energy, no desire and very little quality.
