AARON Ramsdale admitted Arsenal were “not good enough” after their defeat to Albion.

Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Enock Mwepu was the star of the show, creating Leandro Trossard’s opener before netting the winner.

Martin Odegaard’s late consolation meant Graham Potter’s side left the Emirates Stadium with three points on Saturday.

After another disappointing loss to Crystal Palace on Monday night, Arsenal goalkeeper Ramsdale admitted his frustration.

“This was supposed to be the reaction game, but it wasn’t,” he told Arsenal’s official website.

“We’ve lost and not managed to pick up any points and next week is even bigger.

“I think we just need to go out there and be free and play our game, you know?

“It’s a game of football and I think in the first half we were very tense and slow, so we just need to go out there next week, trust what the manager and the coaching staff are saying and go and play our football, which we’ve done all season.

“It’s not good enough. Two games on the spin where the first 45 minutes has got away from us.

“You make it an uphill battle against any team in the Premier League if you’re losing at half-time.”

Gabriel Martinelli also had a goal ruled out for offside during the match.

Arsenal’s rivals Tottenham Hotspur eased to victory on Saturday to move three points clear in fourth place.

The victory was just a third league win of the calendar year for Brighton.

The Seagulls ended a run of six losses with a home draw to Norwich before taking all three points against Arsenal.

“I am so glad, we needed the three points after six loses and a draw,” Mwepu said.

“I think we have shown that we have the right mentality in the group to come to places like Arsenal and play like we did.

“We just want to continue in the final games like this, play well and win for the coach, who has shown a lot of confidence in us.

“We had a little joke in the dressing room before the game that I was going to score. I was delighted to take the chance, I hit it really well and it was wonderful to see it go into the net.”
