Arsenal captain Odegaard admits title hopes over after Brighton shock: We must be realistic

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard concedes the title race is over after their 3-0 defeat to Brighton.

Julio Enciso, Deniz Undav and Pervis Estupinan struck for the visitors.

Odegaard said: "Yeah it looks difficult now to be honest, we have to be realistic. I don't think City are going to do too many mistakes now.

"We just need to get back on the pitch and end the season in a good way. I think everyone deserves that, especially the fans.

"We did OK in the first half with the high press and could have been dangerous and scored some goals. The game changed a little bit in the second half, when they went direct it was a bit too easy for them to get through. I don't know why at the moment. I don't have any answers.

"We've done a lot of good things but at the moment it is just disappointing how we've ended. It is a good sign that we are disappointed. We just have to make sure we keep improving and getting better."
