Arsenal suffers first defeat of EPL title defence
Arsenal slumped to the first loss of their English Premier League (EPL) title defence — and it was a heavy one at Brighton. After four straight wins for the champions, the 3-0 defeat at Amex Stadium on Saturday came somewhat out of nowhere. The third goal, which was conceded from a corner kick — typically an area of strength for Arsenal — summed up an unusually sloppy performance from Mikel Arteta’s team.
