Brighton – Arsenal 2-4
Arsenal ended the year with another victory and a big smile: 4-2 against Brighton, despite some risks in the final, was actually a well-deserved +7 over Manchester City. The match immediately went right for Arsenal, who passed after two minutes: Martinelli’s shot was parried, Saka entered the far post and hit Sanchez with his left foot. The blow shocked Brighton immediately, as Zinchenko and Nketia almost doubled the score, and the seagulls reacted only in the 24th minute: Ramsdale is good at Trossard’s powerful shot from a corner kick. However, Brighton’s good moment was broken by Arsenal’s double: from a corner kick, the ball reached Ødegaard, who found the net to make it 2-0 in the 39th minute. The victory seems to be in the cards for the guests, who found the hat-trick in the 47th minute: Martinelli was released, and after Sanchez’s new deflection, Nketiah arrived. The Gunners rest and Brighton immediately cut short: Mituma makes it 3-1, capitalizing on Tomiyasu’s mistake and taunting Ramsdale. The Seagulls get excited but, just like in the first half, they are immediately punished: Ødegaard’s perfect throw on the run Martinelli, who beats the revisionable Sanchez and finds poker in the 70th minute. It’s not over yet, because six minutes later, Brighton found a 4-2 win with Ferguson, taking advantage of Saliba’s mistake and starting the last siege. In the final, Arteta trembles, because Mitoma sees 4-3 canceled due to offside. However, Arsenal managed to put up a wall in front of Ramsdale and achieved the fifth consecutive victory, which still stretched over City, and stopped at 1-1 against Everton.

In the central stage, Wolves grow, under the blows of Budens and thanks to the dirty work of Diego Costa, but do not sink. At the end of time it was again Garnacho who proved dangerous, but he once again missed an excellent opportunity. In the second half, there was space for Rashford on one side and Adam Traore on the other. The Spaniard starts off very well for Wolves, putting a handful of interesting balls into the area.
