19 brilliant Brighton fan and celebration pictures from Arsenal victory

The result all but ended Arsenal’s hopes of winning the title this season and boosted Albion’s chances of reaching European football for the first ever time in their history.

It was the perfect response from Brighton after their painful 5-1 home loss to Everton last Monday.

Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi said: “I’m really pleased with the performance because we deserved to win, I think. It was a very tough game, but to play here is always difficult and for us today was more difficult because on Monday we lost an incredible game. It’s tough to respond when you have lost 5-1, and for this I am really proud of my players. We showed we are serious people, we showed character because, without this part of football, you can play well, you can keep the ball, you can score goals, but without patience, without this value, we can’t achieve our targets.”
