The damning statistic that shows how Arsenal trail Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea

Following the loss against Brighton at home on Thursday night, Arsenal sit 10th in the Premier League.

They are now 10 points off the top four, five points clear of relegation and have a goal difference of -2.

Brighton took the lead in the first half through Adam Webster, with Alexandre Lacazette grabbing an equaliser shortly after half-time.

David Luiz thought he had given the Gunners the lead, but saw his goal ruled out for offside by the VAR.

And with 10 minutes remaining, Neal Maupay grabbed a winner for the visitors - their first win against one of the 'Top Six' sides away from home.

Since the Seagulls were promoted in 2017, they have faced the 'Top Six' sides of Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, Manchester United and Arsenal 17 times away from home.,

In that time they have picked up just one draw and one win - both against Arsenal. The other 15 games have been wins for the opposition.

It's a damning statistic for Arsenal, and the latest in a long line of disappointments for the fans, who have seen manager Unai Emery sacked, with Freddie Ljungberg put in temporary charge.

The Gunners are now on a run of just one win in their last 11 games in all competitions, and they have gone two months without a win in the Premier League.
