Summary

Ian Stone is joined by Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke to discuss the 1-1 draw away at Brighton on Saturday.

Ethan Nwaneri started again and scored the opening goal but came off at half time with a muscular injury as Arsenal's depleted squad is stretched further yet.

The panel discuss the penalty decision after João Pedro was deemed to have been fouled by William Saliba as the two clashed heads in an unusual situation.

But are Arsenal's lack of goals and lack of attacking options the real problem?

Plus a look ahead to the Carabao Cup semi final first leg with Newcastle on Tuesday night.

Produced by Jesse Howard.
