Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah grabbed early targets in every half for Arsenal as they received 4-2 away to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday within the closing Premier League recreation of 2022 to open up a seven-point lead on the high of the desk.
Arsenal high the standings on 43 factors with second-placed Manchester City, who had been held to a 1-1 draw by Everton earlier within the day, on 36 and Newcastle United, who drew 0-0 with Leeds, two factors additional again in third.
Saka scored after two minutes and Martin Odegaard added one other earlier than the break, earlier than an Eddie Nketiah strike simply after halftime seemed to have wrapped up all three factors for the Gunners.
However, a Kaoru Mitoma aim within the sixty fifth minute threw Brighton a lifeline and although Gabriel Martinelli netted a fourth for Arsenal, Evan Ferguson made it 4-2 to arrange a grandstand end.
Mitoma thought he had made it 4-3 within the 89th minute however the aim was chalked off after a VAR evaluation discovered that he had come from an offside place, because the Gunners held on to shut out the 12 months with a win.
