Interesting Facts After Arsenal’s Draw Results Against Brighton

DBasia.news –  Arsenal’s last Premier League home match did not go as expected. The Gunners had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion in week 37 of the Premier League, Sunday (5/5) evening WIB.

Playing at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal took the lead thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s penalty. At that time the match had only been running for nine minutes.

The 1-0 score lasted until entering the break. Unfortunately, Arsenal conceded in the 61st minute, through the execution of Glenn Murray’s penalty.

These results are a burden to Arsenal’s move in advancing to the 2018-2019 top four Premier League final standings. The Gunners must win while hoping Chelsea or Tottenham will slip.

Even so, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s goal made him the third African player to score 20 goals in the Premier League this season. Aubameyang followed in the footsteps of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

This is the first time in English football history that more than one African player has scored 20 goals or more in one season.

In addition, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also became the sixth Arsenal player to score 20 goals in a season in Premier League history. The Gunners have also matched with Manchester United and Liverpool.

Besides the three teams, no other team has six different players scoring goals in a season in the Premier League. The three became the most contributors to that category.

Unfortunately, there is one bad record from this match. Arsenal have conceded a total of 50 goals in the Premier League this season thanks to Brighton’s penalty.

This is the first time Arsenal have conceded more than 50 goals in two consecutive seasons since 1982-1983. At the same time, the first time in the era of the Premier League.
