    Arsenal 1 Brighton 1 LIVE RESULT: 10-men Gunners drop two points after Declan Rice sees red for bizarre incident

    ARSENAL have drawn 1-1 with Brighton in the early Premier League kick-off.Kai Havertz put Arsenal into the lead with a brilliant lob before Declan Rice was sent off after the break. And Joao Pedro made it 1-1 minutes later, tapping home after David Raya saved from Yankuba Minteh. Kick-off time: 12:30pm BSTLive stream: Discovery+TV channel: TNT Sports 1Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Ødegaard, Partey, Rice; Saka, Havertz, TrossardBrighton XI: Verbruggen; Veltman, Dunk, Van Hecke, Hinshelwood; Baleba, Milner; Minteh, Joao Pedro, Mitoma; WelbeckFollow ALL the action from the Emirates with our live blog below…Match reportIt may have been nervy and scrappy, but Arsenal’s summer transfer window ended in Deadline Day delight.Yet with new signing Raheem Sterling watching on, Mikel Arteta’s Gunners made hard work of it on the pitch too – losing their 100 per cent winning start in the Premier League.For all the bravery shown and problems caused by Fabian Hurzeler’s Brighton, a routine Emirates win was on the cards after a lobbed Kai Havertz finish in the 38th minute.But an uncharacteristic act of immaturity from Declan Rice earned him a second yellow in the 49th minute – his first red card in 245 Prem appearances.Already on a caution for a reckless lunge on Joel Veltman just before the break, the same Brighton defender was the villain as his quick free-kick was nudged from its spot by Rice.Veltman ended up following through on Rice who went down in a heap, but upon getting back to his feet was met with ref Chris Kavanagh’s red card.Copy linkCopiedUp nextIt’s the international break!But on their return to action it’s a hugely difficult run of fixtures for the Gunners – away to Tottenham and then Manchester City.Brighton host Ipswich and then Nottingham Forest.Copy linkCopiedArteta speaks on Rice’s red cardMikel Arteta was short and snappy with his answers when speaking to TNT Sports.He’s clearly livid with the referee and has slammed the consistency of the man in the middle’s performance.He told TNT Sports: “We started the game really well. We scored the goal, 1-0. We started the second half really good but then there is the decision that changes the game completely.”Asked about the explanation of the red card he was given, he replied: “None, like always.”He then added: “If bookings happen throughout the game in a consistent way it is fine but it didn’t. It is the inconsistency.”Copy linkCopiedRice misses the derbyOh yeah, it’s been pointed out that Declan Rice will be watching from the stands when Arsenal go to their rivals after the break.He’ll sit out Tottenham vs Arsenal but be back for the trip to the Etihad that follows.Big blow.Copy linkCopiedSaka’s thoughtsArsenal winger Bukayo Saka told Match Of The Day: “I thought it was a bit harsh for us. We just want some consistency. “Joao Pedro booted the ball halfway across the pitch in the first half and got nothing for it and Dec got the slightest touch and was sent off.”It is what it is, I dont want to put the whole game on the referee as we still had chances to win it.”It has been a good start. Today is a disappointment but it is a long season.”Copy linkCopiedWhere we standBrighton fans, you’re top of the table!The two sides move joint-top of the table after the draw, with the Seagulls top on goals scored, for now anyway.They both remain unbeaten too.Copy linkCopiedRice’s redMore on that Declan Rice red card can be read on the SunSport website.It’s certainly dividing opinion…Copy linkCopiedImmediate reactionLewis Dunk told TNT Sports: “We didn’t create enough chances when they went down to 10 men, but we will go away and look at it.”We always believe we can win any game of football. We are in a good place and we know we can beat anybody.”Copy linkCopiedMatch statsThe numbers behind the game with Brighton registering an incredible 22 efforts on goal in the game.That 64% possession is wild too, though probably a little under what it felt like in the game.Copy linkCopiedFT: Arsenal 1-1 BrightonPlenty going on, then as it ends a draw.And it’ll feel like two points dropped – for Brighton.Kai Havertz’s goal gave Arsenal the lead at half time before Joao Pedro’s second half equaliser earned the Seagulls a point.In between that, Declan Rice was sent off for the first time in his career.
