[Music] Arsenal's 100% start to the season came to an end against Brighton after a Dean rice red card allowed Brighton to come from behind at the Emirates Stadium and claim a point with Arsenal seemingly in control early in the second half rice was shown a second Yellow by referee Chris kavanau for kicking the ball away Brighton made the extra man couns Al bedro equalized just before the hour mark earlier Mikel r2s team went ahead through Kai hav s second goal of the Season bukayo Saka took advantage of some hesitant defending from seagulls Skipper Le dunk before feeding the ball through to HZ who just had to lift the ball over Bart ver buan and into the back of the net htz almost put the 10 men of Arsenal back in front 15 minutes from time only for ver buan to save well with his feet there were later chances at either end for saaku and Brighton sub georginio rter but things ended all square the Gunners made two late additions as the transfer window came to a close but new arrivals Netto and Raheem Sterling were signed too late to feature in the squad the MCH also came too early for Brighton new boy fery K Glo while mat Riley's debut injury means the 25 million midfielder played no part Mikel art chea's team dominated the early proceedings with Ben White and Martin igard going close the halftime lead emphasized their control but that shifted with the red card and here are s talking points from the Emirates Stadium at first glance it looked as though Joel veltman could be in trouble as Dean rice slay prone on the ground instead though it was the Arsenal man given his marching orders was the red card the right decision have you say in the comments section while there were no complaints over the first yellow as the England International went in late on veltman the second was a different story however it was eventually determined that Rice's dismissal came for delaying the restart Arsenal's bigger grievance however may come in relation to veltman staying on the field a generous reading would be that the Dutch International was attempting to take a quick free kick when rice kicked the ball out of his path though Brighton's opponents will likely feel different Arsenal's decision to sell Eddie Nika on Deadline day brought a Resurgence s some of the same questions to have plagued the Gunners of late there was still no new number nine for them so does Kai hav offer enough of a goal threat ATI made it clear earlier in the window that he didn't feel the need for a new and established Striker former Target Ian Tony was allowed to move elsewhere and HS continued to lead the line with Gabriel Jesus Son available it took a little under 40 minutes to understand why Arsenal's manager backs the German it was a Striker's run and a Striker's finish from a player who finished last season with four goals in his final five games and already has two in three this term Lewis stunk won't have been happy with the part he played in Arsenal's opener however the Defenders distribution was key to Brighton drawing themselves level it was his long through ball that caused panic in the Gunner's defense with Yan kuber mint taking advant Vantage while David ryer kept out mint's effort no one could stop Jiao Pedro tucking away the rebound with James Milner injured early on Brighton were Shor of one of their more experienced heads they'll be grateful dunk used his experience to avoid letting that early era get to him Brighton welcomed pervis estupinan back from injury in their midweek caribo cup win against Crawley but Fabian hutzler opted against starting the Ecuadorian in North London Jack henselwood was perhaps seen as the more defensive option but the teenager had a tough time against bukayo sakar in the early stages sacka terrorized the youngster to set up a chance around 10 minutes in with the move ending up with a Ben White effort deflecting wide it looked as though wasn't enough protection for hinel wood though Brighton would eventually recognize that need only those on the pitch will know how long that might have continued if it remained 11 versus 11 it's a game of what it ifs though and Arsenal not doing more with their early dominance is another of those mat Riley's injury appeared to leave Brighton intent on keeping Billy Gilmore the Scotland midfielder ended up making a deadline day move to Napoli after all though with Mamud D also exiting that left the seagulls rather light in the middle of the park James Milner and Carlock bber was the starting partnership at the Emirates Stadium but an early injury to mil and yes in aori made an earlier entry than anticipated if any team will make the argument that age is only a number it will be the side with the youngest manager in the league even so an extended period with a pair of 20 year olds in the middle could well prove testing join our new WhatsApp Community privacy notice
