The match was a draw and I don't see why the outcome of this match will affect their future at the end of the season. It is quite sad to see Arsenal drop point this early but they can still win the league if they don't drop anymore points. But if they continue dropping points, it shows that they will not win the league.
City will also drop points as the season passes on and whoever drops more points limits their chances of winning the league. A red card means a lot to a club when the match has not reached 90mins. Brighton was able to make proper use of the advantage they had over Arsenal but they could not steal all three points.
Dropping game points have become a regular routine towards these EPL clubs, definitely a challenging factor them, none of these clubs will scale through. A rough match day for Arsenal, perhaps they manage to scale through the difficult phases and this leads completely to another dimension. Gunners performance at Emirates stadium was outstanding and impressive, despite the red card, they manage to secure a draw against the visitors. Fabian Hürzeler becoming comfortable with the stats, his presence having great impact on Brighton this season.
