Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was frustrated with the officials after watching his side draw 1-1 with Brighton and Hove Albion at the Emirates Stadium, having played the majority of the second half with 10 men. (More Sports News)
Declan Rice was sent off for a second bookable offence after 49 minutes for delaying the restart from a Brighton free-kick, leaving Arteta to question the consistency of the referee's decision-making.
바카라If that happens throughout the game in a consistent way that바카라s fine,바카라 he told TNT Sports in a post-match interview.
바카라But it didn바카라t happen. In the first half, there were a number of occasions where they kicked the ball away and nothing happened.
바카라It바카라s inconsistency and it's in an area where it바카라s not critical. You made that call and you have to give a red card.
바카라If we have to play with 10, they have to play with 10 as well.바카라
Despite his annoyance at the red card, Arteta was able to find positives in the performance of his team.
Arsenal went 1-0 up after 38 minutes through Kai Havertz바카라s second goal of the season, before conceding a second-half equaliser following Rice바카라s dismissal.
바카라We started the game really good, created three or four big chances,바카라 he said.
바카라We started the second half really good, had some good moments and momentum and obviously that decision changes the game completely.
바카라It was unbelievable the way the team reacted [after the goal] with 10 men, playing 48 minutes, we should have won the game.바카라
Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler, meanwhile, had a different opinion to his counterpart.
바카라It was a red card, he shoots the ball away. He was wasting time,바카라 said Hurzeler in his post-match press conference.
바카라If Arsenal think otherwise, there are now two opinions.바카라
When asked about a similar incident in which Joao Pedro seemed to avoid punishment for kicking the ball away, Hurzeler suggested the two events were not like-for-like.
바카라You can바카라t compare the two situations,바카라 he said.
바카라In football, two situations are never the same. I was booked because I was complaining about the tackle against Joel [Veltman] in the first half. We can accept it바카라s in the Premier League, it바카라s a yellow card, but I think no one can complain if the referee gives the red card.바카라
