The Arsenal sold an advance in the first part to lose more floor opposite to Liverpool in the race by the name of the Premier League through drawing 1-1 in Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday. The teenage feeling of the gunners, Ethan Nwaneri, opened the marker before Joao Pedro wins and converts a penalty of equalization for the hosts.
Arteta’s side now trail the Premier League leaders by five points, having played two more games in what is quickly becoming a one-horse race at the summit.
Express Sport runs through the Arsenal player ratings from Saturday’s disappointing trip to Brighton, whose winless streak extends to eight matches.
David Raya: 6
Only two blank sheets in six Premier League games. Sent in the direction of the penalty position through Joao Pedro.
Thomas Partey: 4
May have breathed a sigh of relief upon noticing Yankuba Minteh and Kaoru Mitoma surprisingly among the Brighton substitutes. You could still tell he definitely wasn’t a right-back.
William Saliba: 5
He conceded Brighton’s penalty when his headlight on the wall resulted in an accidental whim on Joao Pedro. Arsenal didn’t feel so old after this moment.
Gabriel Magalhaes: 6
Unlike your partner, there is no report error. Keep the things that revolved from the back with the upper precision.
Riccardo Calafiori: 7
Arsenal’s best defender, winning the vast majority of his duels and showing that he can beat his man with the ball at his feet.
Jorginho: 6
Captain. Lasted 64 minutes. Won five of his seven ground duels but he’s no Martin Odegaard.
Declan Rice: 7
He created a handful of opportunities that after that you have to watch from the bench. Impressive defensive recovery. The most productive visitor player.
Mikel Merino: 6
Provided the assist for Nwaneri’s opener but an otherwise fairly quiet performance in midfield. Booked late on for swiping Georginio Rutter’s legs on the counter.

Ethan Nwaneri: 7
How talent. The first Arsenal player to write down more than one purpose of the Premier League before his 18th birthday but reserved to waste time and retire to part time.
Also attempted to replicate Bukayo Saka’s set-piece delivery from the right but failed to beat the first man on more than one occasion. A problem for Arteta to address.
Leandro Trosssard: 5
It rarely seemed like he was likely to give a contribution a purpose or a pass opposite to his former club. We have the impression that it is more suitable to have an effect on paper in the bank.
Gabriel Jesús: 3
He failed two main opportunities and lost 11 of their 15 duels. Crystal Palace cannot play every week.
Gabriel Martinelli: 4
I offered the attacker to bite what Arteta needed when lifting him in part time.
Martin Odegaard: 5
I couldn’t make artistic gears move from the bank.
