Arsenal's biggest weakness in thrilling Brighton win — yes, it's him

Arsenal sealed three precious points to get to the summit of the Premier League table on Saturday, leaving Liverpool two points behind.

They pulled off a bold 3-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium known to be a giant-killer.

Unfortunately, it was not all sunshine and rainbows as there was one weak area Brighton exploited time and again.

Oleksandr Zinchenko at left-back was tormented throughout the game and had to be bailed out by his teammates on a couple of occasions. Arsenal have a solid right-back in Ben White but the left continues to be a headache.

The Gunners are lucky to have a strong defence with an equally capable goalkeeper in David Raya. Zinchenko, however, was a glaring weak link.

In the first half, the Ukrainian failed to win a single tackle or duel allowing Brighton to create most their chances through his flank.

Out of an attempted three duels, he only won one in the second half. He also failed to offer much service going forward which is supposed to be one of his better qualities.
