Match report: Brighton 1-0 Arsenal

A disappointing night on the south coast saw our unbeaten run come to end as we lost 1-0 to Brighton & Hove Albion.

Zech Medley came close in the opening stages when he met Nathan Tormey’s accurate cross from the right, but saw his powerful header fly over the bar.

Midway through the first half we thought we had taken the lead when Thomas McGill clawed Tormey’s deflected cross away from the goal-line, and the referee waved away the calls for a goal to be given.

On the stroke of half-time Brighton should have been ahead when Peter Gwargis broke free of our defence, drove into the box, and fired an effort on to the post, before Matt Smith blocked his follow-up effort.
