Arsenal's nightmare season took another dire turn after Brighton & Hove Albion left the Emirates Stadium with a 2-1 win in the Premier League on Thursday night.
Neal Maupay headed in the winner for the Seagulls to condemn a fractious Gunners squad to a ninth game without a win in all competitions. Interim boss Freddie Ljungberg suffered his first defeat in charge, while Arsenal slipped to 10th in the table.
Newcastle United are just one point behind the Gunners thanks to an impressive 2-0 win away to Sheffield United.
The Magpies moved up the table, but Liverpool are still comfortably at the summit of the standings following Wednesday's 5-2 win over Everton in the Merseyside derby.
