Brighton boss hits Arsenal & Arteta with new time-wasting dig

Tensions between Brighton and Arsenal exploded after the Gunners secured a gritty victory at the Amex Stadium to bolster their title charge on Wednesday evening. Seagulls boss Fabian Hurzeler launched a scathing attack on Mikel Arteta's side, accusing them of cynically manipulating the rules and using extreme time-wasting tactics in a match where he suggested only the hosts genuinely attempted to play football.

Why Gyokeres failed to make the grade at Brighton

Viktor Gyokeres' first season at Arsenal has been mixed, to put it kindly. Indeed, he only scored seven goals in his first 22 appearances across all competitions for the Gunners, which represented a poor return on the club's £63.5 million ($85m) investment in his services. Some felt the Swede was an awkward fit for Mikel Arteta's side, while others went as far as to label Gyokeres one of the worst signings in Premier League history.

Will Arsenal bottle it? Wright nervous over 'jittery' Gunners

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has admitted he is feeling "nervous" about the Gunners' title credentials following a "jittery" performance in their hard-fought 2-1 victory over Chelsea. Despite moving five points clear at the Premier League summit, the iconic former striker was left concerned by how Mikel Arteta’s side struggled to finish off a 10-man Blues team at the Emirates Stadium. Wright believes the north Londoners are developing a worrying habit of fading in the second half, a trend that could prove fatal as they enter the business end of the season.

The return of the Egyptian King! Salah shines against Brighton

Liverpool are by no means back to their best. And nor is Mohamed Salah. But there were enough positive signs from both in Saturday night's 3-0 FA Cup fourth-round win over Brighton to suggest that this most trying of seasons might actually end on a positive note for the Reds. Arne Slot's men were actually quite flat in the first half, perhaps exhausted from the effort required to end Sunderland's unbeaten home record in the Premier League in midweek, but they still went into the interval ahead thanks to Curtis Jones' close-range finish from Milos Kerkez's cross.

10 best-value signings of the January window

Famously, the January transfer window is the more difficult of the two to operate in. It's hard to persuade other clubs to give up assets mid-season, sometimes even harder to convince players that they're better off making a move immediately rather than waiting until the following summer. But that doesn't mean deals are impossible, or that you can't get good value for your buck.
