Brilliant Pepe dazzles again but Arsenal miss out on Europe despite Brighton win

The Gunners finished their season with a 2-0 win against the Seagulls and finished eighth in the Premier League

Two second half goals from Nicolas Pepe were enough to see off the Seagulls and give Mikel Arteta’s side a fifth successive victory in the Premier League.
