Arsenal’s nightmare afternoon at Brighton could have ended with even more punishment after Declan Rice was shown only a yellow card for an off-the-ball incident with Malick Yalcouyé.
Rice appeared to trip the Brighton substitute after being nudged off balance, with the incident sparking debate over whether the Arsenal midfielder should have been sent off for violent conduct. VAR checked the incident but decided it did not meet the threshold for a red card.
Arsenal were already struggling at the time, with Brighton producing a dominant display against the defending champions.
Yellow card or red? Did Rice get away with one?
