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.

That's what we think, for Arsenal to have what it takes to win the league title this season. It wouldn't make sense at all if, by the end of the season, we learn that Arsenal lost the Premier League title race to any top club over again after two consecutive seasons of failed attempts of having minor defeats and drawing matches like this.

A draw match is better than a loss match, as most of us would say, as Arsenal was able to hold Brighton to a draw match despite Declan Rice's red card at 49 minutes of play into the match. However, Arsenal did well in succeeding in holding Brighton to draw, but this is not what Arteta wants from his players; they should win matches because every match win counts.
