Arsenal dropped points in the Premier League for the first time this season as they were held to a draw by Brighton.
The Gunners had looked in control and were leading 1-0 at half-time thanks to Kai Havertz’s goal.
But Declan Rice was sent off shortly after the break for a second yellow card and that allowed Brighton to hit back.
Joao Pedro scored the equaliser and, despite Havertz having a great chance to win it late on, the points were shared.
Simon Collings was at Emirates Stadium to see Arsenal in action...
David Raya 8 | Star player
Unlucky with the goal as he made a good save to deny Yankuba Minteh, but Pedro scored the rebound. Made a brilliant reflex save to keep out Yasin Ayari. Dealt well with crosses.
Ben White 6
Had a tough afternoon against Kaoru Mitoma, who was really bright all game. Unable to get forward as much as he usually does.
William Saliba 7
Fairly solid performance, helping Arsenal cope when down to 10 men. Had one, great marauding run forward in the second half.
Gabriel 7
Solid for most of the game, except for the Brighton goal - when he and Saliba were suddenly exposed. Made some big blocks late on.
Jurrien Timber 7
Another good performance from the Dutchman, who looks like he is the first choice at left-back now. Went off injured though.
Martin Odegaard 6
Took a few kicks early on and never looked quite right after that. Struggled to get into the game and influence it like he can.
Thomas Partey 5
A frustrating performance. Fluctuated from doing a great piece of skill and then being sloppy on the ball.
Declan Rice 5
Sent off for two yellow cards. The second felt very harsh, with the midfielder judged to have kicked the ball away just before Joel Veltman took a free-kick. Suspended for the north London derby now.
Bukayo Saka 7
Was really bright early on and gave Jack Hinshelwood a torrid time. Set up Havertz’s goal by stealing the ball off Lewis Dunk.
Kai Havertz 7
Took his goal really well by dinking the ball over Bart Verbruggen from outside the box. Missed a great chance late on, though.
Leandro Trossard 6
Didn't have the best of afternoons against his old club. Created one great chance in the first half with a cross for Odegaard, but largely quiet.
