Prior to Albion's game at the Gunners on April 9, the Seagulls had endured a torrid time in the top-flight.
Brighton had gone seven games without a win, and suffered six consecutive defeats, stretching back to the 2-0 win at relegation-threatened Watford on February 12.

Albion recorded a 2-1 win at Arsenal before snatching a late but great 1-0 victory at Spurs last weekend.
The pair of wins left the Seagulls needing just a solitary point to break their all-time top-flight points tally.
Wednesday night's spirited defeat at title-chasing Manchester City - Albion's third away trip to a top five team in 11 days - brought an end to Brighton's winning run.

Hide AdSpeaking ahead of Sunday's home game against Southampton, Potter said he was pleased with how his charges had dealt with the 'tough moments' during Albion's barren spell.
He said: "I haven’t doubted that [the team's resilience] because I have seen it over the course of my time here, there are always tough moments and you’ve got to come through.
"If you look at the league table, a lot of teams find getting points in this league hard, whether it’s home or away. It’s the nature of the competition.
"There are a few points separating a number of teams, so it’s not a bed of roses the whole time, you’ve got to deal with some tough moments which we’ve managed to do quite well."
