Rice sent off as Arsenal are held by Brighton

Brighton took advantage of Declan Rice being sent off early in the second half to battle back and force a 1-1 draw at Arsenal in the English Premier League.

Arsenal was 1-0 up on Saturday and looked in control when Rice was shown a second yellow card in the 49th minute, apparently for nudging the ball to the side as Joel Veltman tried to take a quick free kick deep inside Brighton's half.

Veltman kicked Rice from behind in the process and the home crowd were screaming for the Brighton player to be punished,  only for referee Chris Kavanagh to show Rice a red card.
