Personally, I feel that the referee Kavanagh failed to maintain consistent law enforcement standards in this game. He also lacked "common sense judgment" when he showed Rice a second yellow card that was too harsh.
It was a pity that Arsenal conceded the goal. Saliba trusted his teammate Gabriel too much and did not interfere with Brighton's winger Minter who switched to the center, which eventually led to the equalization of the score. But from the perspective of offensive drills, Trossard, who started the first half, was the bright spot on the left, frequently creating opportunities and posing threats on both sides in tough battles. Saka became the first Gunners player to have assists in the first three rounds of the season since Henry in the distant 2004-05 season. He dared to fight for the ball on the opponent's big central defender Dunk, which is so worthy of praise. After playing one less player in the second half, they also made two sharp counterattacks. It was also rewarding to practice the two offensive modes. In the next two away games against Tottenham and Manchester City, I look forward to seeing similar cooperation again. Sterling may bring surprises when he comes on the bench.
