LONDON (AP) Not since 1977 have things been this bad at Arsenal.

The struggling Gunners slumped to a 2-1 home loss to Brighton in the Premier League on Thursday, taking the team's winless streak to nine games in all competitions - its worst run in 42 years.

Interim coach Freddie Ljungberg clearly hasn't found a quick fix to all the problems that plagued the team under Unai Emery - who was fired last week - and the Gunners looked completely shorn of confidence against a Brighton side that dominated large parts of the game.
