Arsenal’s perfect 2026 title defense hit a brick wall in a brutal 3-0 loss to Brighton. Mikel Arteta didn’t hold back, labeling his squad “extremely poor” and lacking basic tactical respect.

- Technical errors doomed the Gunners.
- Midfield dominance shifted to Brighton.
- The unbeaten streak is officially over.

Can the champions recover their identity, or is the title race officially wide open?
