Arsenal missed out on crucial Premier League points after Brighton secured a draw at the Emirates, with Declan Rice’s contentious red card playing a pivotal role. New signing Raheem Sterling, on loan from Chelsea, watched from the stands as Kai Havertz put Arsenal ahead with a lobbed finish just before halftime. However, Arsenal’s lead was undone after Rice received a second yellow card for delaying a free-kick, allowing Brighton to level the score. Joao Pedro capitalized on the situation, scoring after David Raya’s initial save from Yankuba Minteh. Both teams had opportunities to secure victory, with Havertz and Bukayo Saka missing key chances for Arsenal, while Raya made a crucial save to deny Brighton’s Yasin Ayari.
