Premier League: Arsenal Drop Points Against Brighton

The Gunners dominated the game in the first half and took the lead through Kai Havertz seven minutes before the break.

Havertz finished brilliantly having been played in expertly by Bukayo Saka.

Rice was sent off four minutes into the second half after picking up a second yellow card for delaying a Brighton free kick by kicking the ball away.

Brazilian striker Joao Pedro fired Brighton level 12 minutes later.

Both sides missed presentable chances to win the contest late on, but they each had to settle for a point.
