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.
the card offense would have been easily avoided on a normal circumstance and truth is that he never saw that coming. looking at the scene from a distance, it looked as though he was the one that was fouled not untill they did a review that showed what happened exactly. In my opinion, giving him card knowing that he already hard a yellow card prio to that time wasn't necessary at all. A warning would have been given since the act didn't cause any arm to the guy that was about kicking the ball.
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.
from the way arsenal played Brighton, they deserves a win in that game but it's just bad that we're getting used to seeing them struggling and having these sort of missed chances of winning that eventually hunts them towards the end of the season. Brighton needed the draw and they are even happy that they've manage to draw arsenal. When the season hits up, they will eventually be sent down the table but this chance of getting these points from arsenal will still be to thier advantage. Arsenals hope of winning the premiership has already started taking a down turn seeing the current form of Liverpool and Manchester City. They just have to brace up for the journey ahead of else they might end up far below their spot at the last season.
