Saka's delivery was low, it wasn't the best, he'll get a second bite of the cherry though.
Oerdegaard, Saka over the top and to win the volley couldn't generate the power in the end
straight at the Bruggen. Yeah I think the free kick was supposed to go under the wall but
that's a beautiful little dink from Oerdegaard.
Saka again getting lots of joy on this right hand side and his cross
just slacking the direction to Bayn Havertz. That's twice in a row Saka's got him behind
Hinshawood and to be fair he's twisting and turning Hinshawood I don't think he even knows
where he is at the moment. He's looking to that far post and Raya had to be alert
not once but twice to keep that one in play. It's Jankuva Minta who was arriving late.
It was a good leap from the bright and right-sided player, right-sided forward
Balls in a save. The pressure on the left-hand side has opened up space for Drossard who's a
good delivery towards Oerdegaard. He did everything right, the Arsenal captain couldn't find a way
past Bart van Bruggen. Oh it was a lovely break what a pass from Ben Wyatt. Well back.
It's like past Partey and Saliba being given away. Here's Buleba, plenty of space on the right hand
side. Just over Minta. He's supposed to keep this attack alive. Saliba away. Only as far as Matoma
it's the closest Brighton have come. It's a great volley from Matoma flashing past
Raya's left-hand post. Not a trouble to the keeper but a sign that maybe Brighton are just creeping
back into this game. Saka has done really well. Havertz got a little bit lucky in the midfield
with Saka. I wonder whether VAR might be having a look at this Max. The ball's gone over, it's dropped
in and somehow Saka's brought it down. It's a lovely through ball to Havertz and it's a great finish.
Well it's his fifth goal in his last five Premier League home games and he loves scoring against
Brighton as well. It now means that he's scored in each of his last four Premier League meetings
with the Seagulls. Telescopic legs to delve back out again and Rice can surge forward. That's a big
challenge. The worst foul in the world but still gets him a yellow card. That front line got to
take more chances. It's a nice ball over the top. It's Timber who stayed forward. There's Rice.
Came off enjoyed in the end. Arsenal corner. Yeah timely intervention. I'm not sure if this was
curling in from Rice. Again lovely little chip in. Timber with a turn and back heel.
It's a good ball into the far post isn't it. Rice spins it around Veltman. You can see that he was
trying to take that free kick quickly but he's caught Rice as much as he has the ball. The Arsenal
fans want Chris Kavanagh to make a decision here. Veltman presenting his side. His second yellow card
for Declan Rice. He sent him off for blocking a ball that was given as a free kick and he stepped
in front of it even though he got kicked but he's walking away from it as well. It's a very
controversial decision this. It's a ball through the middle there for Minter. He's through on goal.
And the man who netted the winner against Manchester United last weekend
has just levelled against Arsenal at the Emirates. It's the Gunners' 1
Brighton 1. That's a big goal for him. It's a ball straight down the middle.
Graham makes a great save initially you've got to say as Al Pedro's following up.
Has Mikel Arteta stick or twist in terms of going for a victory or
happier with a draw given that they were reduced to 10 just after the restart?
Well perhaps this is a signal of the intense as Kai Havertz can get in behind van Ecker
and now for Kyle Sackett. Still not cleared and Havertz couldn't adjust his feet.
Oh so close for Arsenal. It's just a general clearance. Havertz pulls his a nuisance of
himself. First touch is lovely. Brings it down. It's a great save. Absolutely fantastic save of
his left foot by Verbruggen and then I think his legs have just gone there. He's just a bit tired
Oh and there's Sayari. Somehow David Rayer managed to get up back to his feet and just
block wherever he could there. Sayari almost had a whole goal to aim at. Just for a moment I thought
David Rayer had died for the first shot that got blocked and he's already on the floor on the right
hand side of the goal. It's almost like an open shot at goal.
Still in control. Latest out of this onslaught is Antonelli as well. Placed to collect the loose ball and
he's to be careful not to lose it under pressure and he's done well and Havertz can carry this
forward and look at Sackett at the far post waiting for the delivery. There he is! Verbruggen again
Denies the Gunners. Oh he'll be very disappointed Sacko. He's slid. It's a great ball into him.
Full stretch. All he can do is get his toe on it. Can't generate any power.
The dunk. Unprotected by the equaliser. Matomas got him behind but this time
Ben White was able to stay with him and get a crucial challenge in.
Hayari. There's Vallejo. Hits one and again!
The first one was straight at Gabriel who really really caught the full force of that one.
He's managed to get into the area but David Rayer with some brave goalkeeping
to dive straight at his feet there. 15 seconds left. Arsenal 1 Brighton 1.
In comes the delivery. Rousa heads it on and then it's just smashed as far away from goal
by Ben White as humanly possible.
There is the full-time whistle and while both of these sides winning streaks in the Premier
League come to an end their unbeaten runs go on. But here today it finishes. Arsenal 1 Brighton 1.
