Brighton 0-1 Arsenal: 'It's a different world,' says Mikel Arteta after back-to-back wins

Arsenal are now in a "different world", according to manager Mikel Arteta, as they record back-to-back league wins for the first time since September by beating Brighton.

Before Christmas, Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer was among those to question whether the Gunners had what it took to retain the place in the top flight they have held since 1919.

Defeat at Everton on 19 December left them only four points above the relegation zone after 14 games - their worst start to the season since 1974-75.

But fortunes changed with a surprise 3-1 victory over Chelsea last weekend, which has now been followed up by this latest success.
