For the first match of this third day of the Premier League, Arsenal were defeated by Brighton, at the Emirates Stadium, this Saturday. A match marked by the controversy surrounding the second yellow card awarded to Declan Rice (49th), by Chris Kavanagh. The English referee judged that the midfielder Gunners had prevented Joey Veltman from taking a quick free kick for the Seagulls. A decision which, for sure, changed the outcome of this meeting, according to Mikel Arteta.

If that happens throughout the game consistently, then that’s good, but it didn’t happen. In the first half, there were a number of times where they shot the ball and nothing happened. It’s inconsistent. Especially since it’s in an area of ​​the pitch that’s not critical. So you have to give a red card. We had to play with 10 men. If we had to play with 10 men, then they should have played with 10 men because it’s a red card for Veltman. “, the Arsenal coach said to TNT Sports. With this draw, the English vice-champion has given up its first points of the season.
