Summary

Ian Stone is joined by The Athletic's James McNicholas and Adrian Clarke to reflect on Arsenal's 4-2 New Years Eve win over Brighton at the Amex.

Brighton have been something of a 'bogey side' for Arsenal in recent times having won just one of their previous 5 visits, but goals from Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Martinelli were enough to seal the 3 points.

The panel also discuss the greatness of Pele following his recent passing, and all the latest in the January transfer window with Mykhailo Mudryk and João Félix heavily linked.

Produced by Jesse Howard.
