If not for the mistake of the Arsenal player Declan Rice who committed a red card offense Arsenal would still have the complete points in the league by now because I was certain they would have won Brighton in the game. However, Tottenham will not be a problem for Arsenal as long as they don't get to do anything stupid again that will make them one man down in the game. With Arsenal strong midfielders and defenders they will play against Tottenham away to bring back the victory at Emirate.

Since 2019, Mikel Arteta's Gunners have received at least 16 red cards in the Premier league and this is Declan Rice's first red card since he came to the club where he has appeared in over 240 Premier league appearances. That's quite unprecedented regarding how active he has been over the years. His red card yesterday brought an adverse effect on the club allowing J. Pedro of the Brighton side re-equalize.

Both Arsenal and Brighton have struggled to remain unbeaten since the start of the new season, although this 1 - 1 draw has instead caused a drawback to both clubs in the table ranking as Brighton still man up to maintain their position at the top of the Arsenal club. Mikel Arteta must be unhappy with this outcome which only suggest that he needs to work hard against subsequent games.
