It was the 34th minute, their team were 2-0 down to Chris Hughton’s in-form Brighton & Hove Albion and all they could do was conclude that Arsène Wenger’s time was up. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang got Arsenal back into it with a close-range finish in the 43rd minute and even then the reaction from the away support was sarcastic. Wenger’s team pressed hard on to the front foot thereafter but, although they enjoyed the territorial advantage and hogged 68% of possession, they failed to create too much of clear-cut note. Cech had previously saved from Gross while Brighton threatened from further corners. But when Aubameyang could not squeeze his shot past Ryan in stoppage time, there would be no escape for Arsenal.
