Arsenal's winning streak halted by 10-man Brighton in 1-1 draw

LONDON - Brighton and Hove Albion and Arsenal played to a 1-1 draw at The Emirates on Saturday, ending Arsenal's perfect start to the new Premier League season. Despite going down to 10 men in the second half after Declan Rice was sent off, the home side managed to hold on for a share of the points.

Arsenal dominated the first half and deservedly lead at half time after Kai Havertz finished brilliantly in the 38th minute, having been played in expertly by Bukayo Saka.

Four minutes into the second half, however, Arsenal's task was made all the harder when Rice was sent off after picking up a second yellow card. Brazilian striker Joao Pedro fired Brighton level 12 minutes later.

Both sides missed golden chances to win the contest late on, but they each had to settle for a point that keeps Arsenal and Brighton unbeaten from their three games so far.
