Minute-by-minute report: It's the last game of 2022. Join Rob Smyth for all the latest updates.

63 min Nketiah appeals for a penalty after a challenge from behind by Dunk. 69 min There was an understandable concern that, when Graham Potter left Brighton, the whole thing might fall in a heap. [Arsenal](https://www.theguardian.com/football/arsenal) collapse? Martinelli was quick enough to stay in front of Lamptey, even with the ball at his feet, and once he got into the area he poked the ball impatiently through Sanchez. “A long way to go, but looks like there’ll be lots of squeaky-bum time at the top and bottom before the end.” [Arsenal](https://www.theguardian.com/football/arsenal) can win it,” says Rachel Clifton. 88 min The stylish Mitoma twists Saka one way and then the other before being brought down. He gained no advantage whatsoever, as he was running away from goal, but rules are rules. Mitoma cuts inside a defender in the area and is about to shoot when he slips over. 90+4 min Gabriel gets away with a shirt pull on Sarmiento in the area. Arsenal move S-E-V-E-N points clear at the top after a highly entertaining match. I just had to show some composure and try to put it in the far corner, and I’m glad I did.

Good afternoon, and welcome to The Athletic's coverage of today's game. Arsenal led the league at Christmas, and remained top after beating West Ham 3-1 on ...

The resulting free-kick is delivered deep into the box and Saliba connects well with a volley. Lovely team move again from Brighton, this time resulting in a goal. It's the seventh goal of the season for Martinelli but it's brilliant, brilliant play from Odegaard. What a moment for 18-year-old Evan Ferguson. Anthony Taylor isn't buying it and books the winger for simulation. But he can't keep his header down and the ball goes behind. •2h ago Pacesetters.— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) We can't get distracted and will be taking each game as it comes. We can do better in some parts of the game but it was a great performance all round." He said: "It was another important goal and I'm happy to help the team with goals and assists. See below for a play-by-play of the last Premier League match of 2022, as well as highlights and post-game reaction.

Arsenal looks to stretch its Premier League unbeaten run into double digits when it visits a Brighton team back on the upswing at the Amex on New Year's ...

Alan Shearer put up 47 over 42, while Thierry Henry holds the 38-game record with 44. Haaland scored two more goals in a Wednesday win over Leeds at Elland Road as Manchester City burst out of the World Cup break with the big Norwegian still on pace for a Premier League record. Patrick Vieira will have been unhappy with Crystal Palace’s performance even before Tyrick Mitchell and James Tomkins were sent off short before and after halftime. It was another set piece that put Palace 2-0 ahead in the 36th minute, as Eberechi Eze stalked a corner kick sent to the top of the penalty area by Olise. The opener came after 19 minutes, when Bournemouth left Jordan Ayew completely unmarked in front of goal as Michael Olise whipped a corner kick into the box. Patrick Vieira was bitterly disappointed to see his side not only lose 3-0 to Fulham on Monday, but to also finish the game with just nine men in a truly disastrous situation. Below is the full schedule, as you can watch all 380 games across our NBC platforms. 👊💙 Here's our starting XI to take on @Arsenal this evening. That said, Arsenal was largely overrun by Brighton late and this was a Brighton side missing huge pieces of its midfield. Adam Lallana and Leandro Trossard have been in-form over Brighton’s three wins in four, scoring in two games each. Kaoru Mitoma and Evan Ferguson scored in a game it trailed 3-0 and 4-1. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Eddie Nketiah also scored for the Gunners.

Fans on the best and worst of the season so far – and who they want to sign in the January transfer window.

And the worst … What we need in the window: Canny recruitment has bolstered a squad that has full belief in Marco Silva’s ideals, and it shows: Antonee Robinson’s improvement and Tim Ream’s consistency are key examples. Top 17 must remain the priority, of course – and yet top seven is tantalisingly within reach. In more recent times it’d be goalkeeper Neville Southall, and in the 21st century, in terms of value, commitment and longevity, Séamus Coleman. Onana is struggling in midfield, Gueye is ineffective and the wingers have underperformed. We finished the season bottom. With a goal ratio of one in two he propelled us to the Premier League, played for England, and became a club legend with his own song. He was everything you want in a player, and we won everything with him. What we need in the window: We’re desperate for a striker. Hopefully the World Cup break gave Potter some time to rethink, and the win over Bournemouth was comfortable. Arsène Wenger overheard the hype and handed Stepanovs a four-year deal. McGrath tops the list.

Second in scoring behind only Manchester City, Arsenal have scored 11 more goals than any other team in the league with four players scoring five or more goals. Brighton would get another and Mitoma made things interesting by hitting the back of the net again but it was judged to be offside following a VAR review, ending any chance of a dramatic comeback. 15th, but the lead could be at a point by then where Arsenal could still be in great shape no matter the result.
