Arsenal's focus is now on the Europa League after their hopes of a top-four Premier League finish were effectively ended by a draw with Brighton, says Unai Emery.
Arsenal's players looked despondent while waiting for the post-match lap of honour to start
There was another promising spell at the end of the first half, with Aubameyang, Shkodran Mustafi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan testing Ryan, but Arsenal's inability to create clear chances gave Brighton increasing confidence in finding an equaliser. Brighton's Premier League status was confirmed on Saturday when Cardiff were relegated following defeat by Crystal Palace.
With a more clinical edge, Brighton could have even won and completely ended Arsenal's top-four chances. First, Gross miscued his first-time strike after Leno had clawed away March's diving header in the 86th minute. "But we bounced back and showed a lot of character. Our responsibility is to try and get a result in every game - we will want to do as well as we can against Manchester City next week."Arsenal are winless in their last four Premier League games , their longest run without a victory in the competition since February 2016 .
