Arsenal's title hopes all but over after 3-0 loss to Brighton

Victory for Mikel Arteta's side would have given them a mathematical chance of taking the race to the wire, but they were never really in this match and have now dropped points from four of their last five matches

ARSENAL 0-3 BRIGHTON 

Some people in the crowd thought the title race was over before this match even started. It is now. Manchester City's win earlier in the afternoon left the defending champions needing just two wins to claim the Premier League and it made for a deflated atmosphere here in north London. Now City just need two points.
