Brighton 3-0 Arsenal Match Reaction, Anomaly or Concern? What Went Wrong & Changes Needed

ARSENAL LOSE 3-0 AT BRIGHTON. The Premier League champions suffer a damaging afternoon at the Amex as Mikel Arteta's side are comprehensively beaten — but was this simply a terrible day at the office, or are there genuine reasons for concern?

In today's Arsenal match reaction, Arsenal reporter Tom Canton takes a considered look back at the defeat, what went wrong and how much should really be read into one disastrous performance.

We break down Arsenal's problems both with and without the ball, Arteta's tactical decisions, the individual performances that fell below the required level and why Brighton were able to cause the Gunners so many problems.

But the bigger question is what happens next. Is this result an anomaly for a side that has otherwise shown its quality, or did Brighton expose weaknesses that Arsenal's upcoming opponents can exploit?

We also discuss the changes needed from Arteta, the players who could come into the side and why the response to this defeat will tell us far more than the result itself.
