(Reuters) - Arsenal will need an extraordinary turnaround on the final day of the Premier League season to finish in the top four after being held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday.

Needing victory to give themselves a realistic chance of securing a Champions League spot, they led through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's early penalty at the Emirates only for Glenn Murray's spot kick to drag Brighton level in a frantic second half.
