Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has laid into Arsenal following their late collapse against Brighton, saying the team are too easy to play against and are 'going backwards'.
Neal Maupay scored at the death to nick a 2-1 win for the Seagulls on Saturday and consign Mikel Arteta's men to back-to-back defeats since they restarted their Premier League campaign.
The Gunners are now tenth and look way off the pace in the battle for Champions League football next year, a vital source of revenue for the club.
They were put to the sword by Manchester City on Wednesday night in a 3-0 defeat and while Parlour accepted they didn't stand much of a chance in that game, the Brighton match was one they couldn't afford to lose.
