The Gunners dominated the first half, controlling possession and creating numerous chances, but it was the visitors who were able to take advantage of Arsenal's defensive mistakes.
In the 28th minute, a corner from Ben White found the head of Pascal Gross, who headed the ball into the back of the net. It was a fortunate goal for Brighton, as the shot came off the post and bounced across the line before any Arsenal players could react.
Despite the early setback, Arsenal refused to give up and continued to push forward. They created several more chances in the second half, including a close-range header from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang that hit the bar.
But it was the visitors who managed to secure the victory in the end. In the 77th minute, a cross from Tariq Lamptey found the head of Yves Bissouma, who headed the ball past Bernd Leno to secure the three points for Brighton.
The result means that Arsenal will remain in second place in the Premier League table, just one point behind Manchester City. The Gunners will now look to continue their impressive form in the final few matches of the season, hoping to secure a top-four finish and potentially a spot in next season's Champions League.
