Arsenal really started well against Brighton, but coming into this match we all knew the threat they pose and wouldn't be written off easily and for sure after that Rice send off...seems odds turned against the Gunners who later paid the price to tie the game 1all, and don't look like they will be fighting to collect all three points.
Btw it's such games that cost Arsenal a win of the premier league because where it's fans expect them to win they do @#£$¥ sh*t and allow better teams like City defend their title.
Everything changed when Declan Rice got a red card in the 49th minute, luckily Arsenal were still able to avoid defeat with the match ending 1-1. Brighton took over the dominance of the match, in all aspects Brighton recorded better statistics, towards the end of the match Arsenal were attacked all out. In my opinion, Declan Rice did something very detrimental, it shouldn't have happened. If Arsenal had played with a full squad today, they would have managed to secure full points. Arteta will lose Declan Rice when facing Tottenham next week, that is another loss for Arsenal.
In addition, Brighton were only able to score one goal despite having more players, and that's fair enough in my opinion. Indeed, this draw can hamper Arsenal ambitions to win trophies, and it's not a good idea to expect Manchester City to stumble in the future. Meanwhile, Arteta must ensure that his players play more relaxed in the future, so as not to repeat mistakes that are unnecessary, and this is apart from the referee decision which is considered very detrimental to Arsenal. Brighton currently top the Premier League standings temporarily with the same number of points as Arsenal, namely 7 points.
