Arsenal's top-four bid suffered a setback as Jurgen Locadia's equaliser gave Brighton a 1-1 draw at the Amex Stadium on Wednesday. Unai Emery's side had taken an early lead through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's fine first-half strike. But Locadia levelled for Brighton before half-time and the Gunners couldn't find a winner after the interval.

Arsenal have won only once in their last four games in all competitions, a frustrating sequence that started when their 22-match unbeaten run ended at Southampton on December 16. The north Londoners climb to fourth place in the Premier League, but fifth-placed Chelsea could move back above them if they avoid defeat at Watford later on Wednesday. "I'm a little disappointed. I think the first half was key in the match. We started winning and had another two chances, but they equalised," Emery said.
