EPL: Brighton coach De Zerbi names best team in Premier League

Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi has named Arsenal as the best team in the Premier League this season.

De Zerbi spoke at his post-match press conference on Sunday after Brighton’s 2-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Goals from Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus gave Mikel Arteta’s side the victory over Brighton at Emirates Stadium.

“Arsenal played much better than us. They deserved to win the game. We suffered a lot,” De Zerbi said.

“I think Arsenal are one of the best—maybe this season’s best team in the Premier League. We are not used to suffering in this way. We are used to controlling the game.”
