00:00second and through the middle is Kai Havertz who finishes adroitly with some aplomb
00:20and Arsenal have the lead in a game against a stubborn opponent in Brighton
00:26they've taken a fair old bit of breaking down it's a great finish i'm not sure what Lewis Dunn
00:32is thinking there i mean he probably feels he might have been fouled but he's got to do more
00:38and he's got to be better i don't think Martin Odegaard is particularly happy still with that
00:42knock he received 15-20 minutes ago but great finish Kai Havertz important goal this because
00:48it's not quite happened just watch Lewis Dunn here he checks his shoulder is that a nudge no
00:53that's nothing that's he doesn't even really challenge for the ball Pikaio Saka is onto it
00:58like a flash there's a gaping hole right down the middle of that Brighton defence and Kai Havertz
01:04just sweeps into it goalkeeper way out the goal and just clips it over his head perfectly into
01:10the back of the net that's an important one today because it's not been the silky stuff
01:14that Arsenal want to find but now they have a lead Kai Havertz a scorer against Brighton
01:20for the fourth successive match managed it home and away last season
01:32May of 2023 Brighton were 3-0 winners here
01:35Arsenal four points adrift of Manchester City with two to play and effectively signal the end of their
01:40realistic title hopes
01:50shaping to take the free kick wax Declan Royce instead of the ball
02:00well the free kick was given Brighton's way he was just about to take it Biltman and I think
02:04Declan Royce might have inadvertently touched it he was supposed to get away from the ball
02:10quickly to enable people to take their free kicks
02:17the referee is delving into his pocket for a yellow card oh like that in fact
02:25who's he give the red card to there
02:30well the yellow came out first of all and then Royce who's already on a yellow
02:35he's been penalized I think for kicking the ball away for not getting away from the ball
02:39and he's got a second yellow and Declan Royce is the player that's sent off
02:44well I mean what I would say about that this is first and foremost it's unnecessary once
02:51Declan Royce knows the free kick goes against him get away from the ball move move look he's
02:56had a little nibble at it I'll tell you he's wrong there Declan Royce to do that
03:01his toe pokes it away he doesn't want to get away from the ball and on a yellow card I'm afraid you
03:08cannot do that you've got to get away from it otherwise you're going to get
03:12carded and Declan Royce only has himself to blame there
03:20Declan Royce is trying to explain himself to the player who ended up kicking him but that's not
03:25going to make a jot of difference Declan Royce is sent off it means he will be suspended for the
03:32north London derby as it's a second yellow rather than a straight red it will be a one-game ban but
03:39it's a big game that he'll miss and Arsenal have got to play the vast majority of the second half
03:44here a man down and there's not much of a look with his manager either as he departs
03:48fourth official John Busby also being asked by Royce
04:05now it's Minte through the middle and it's Jal Pedro and Brighton have their level up
04:11seven minutes after the dismissal of Bryce Arsenal opened up Brighton make their extra player pay
04:25and Fabian Hertzler on his first ever trip to the emirates has plenty to smile about now
04:32that's a great run it's a really good run right through the middle of that
04:35arsenal back line I'm not quite sure why there was such a gaping hole there
04:41we'll see it here the two center halves are well split they're just a little slow to react Gabrielle
04:47didn't really want to dip his foot into that first challenge when it comes back to Jal Pedro
04:51he finishes that brilliantly it's a lovely ball from Louis Dunk great first touch from Minte
04:57and the finish from Jal Pedro is an emphatic one
05:03Jal Pedro who got the winner against Manchester United seven days ago
05:07now the equalizer against Arsenal and Brighton will fancy their chances of getting something
05:12more than a point here now Arsenal look like they're going to a back five
