FT Arsenal 1:1 Brighton
The score ended in a draw where the home team was slightly disadvantaged because Declan Rice had to get a red card, overall Brighton was able to match Arsenal game. This means that Brighton now has quite a troublesome strength, Arsenal looked difficult to penetrate the defense built by Fabian Hürzeler as a new coach he managed to present an effective strategy. I was quite surprised because Arsenal were favored to win, but a draw was not what Arteta wanted.
The red card changed the whole dimension of the game. Declan Rice is too experienced to make such a silly mistake. His single error cost Arsenal the game and may cost them the league title. In the last two seasons, Arsenal have lost the league title to Manchester City by just a few points. Arsenal should know by now that every point matters. This loss might just come to haunt Arsenal by the end of the season. I still believe Arsenal has what it takes to win the league.
But I really appreciate Arsenal's performance, which was even able to maintain a draw by playing with only 10 players. From this match I saw Arsenal's true strength. Where they can still survive with only 10 players. And I'm sure if Declan Rice doesn't get a red card then Arsenal will win this match. Only getting a draw as a result of losing one player to a red card, I think that's still not the worst. rather than having to lose points completely. And yes, one point is very important for Arsenal who want to realize their dream of winning the title. But sometimes things like this happen and make a favorite team like Arsenal have to be willing to share points. Now Arsenal just need to hope that other teams experience the same thing. And it doesn't rule out the possibility that Man City or Liverpool could also make the same mistake.
