On August 31, in the third round of the Premier League, Arsenal drew 1-1 with Brighton at home. After the game, Arsenal’s head coach attended the team’s press conference.
About the match
We had a great start, taking the lead with the first goal. In the second half, our performance remained strong, but this red card completely altered the course of the game. I couldn’t believe how my team responded after being reduced to ten men, fighting hard for 49 minutes. We should have won this game.
About the Red Card
As for why this red card was given, just like before, I have nothing much to say about it.
About the Premier League’s Explanation of the Red Card
The Premier League officials defined the red card as Rice’s action delaying the resumption of play. What I would say is that if such a decision could be applied consistently throughout the entire game, that would be fine. But that wasn’t the case. In the first half, Brighton players did similar things multiple times without any consequences. Therefore, the refereeing was inconsistent.
