Declan Rice, an Arsenal midfielder, was issued a second yellow card in the club's Premier League match against Brighton. He will now face a suspension. Declan Rice was given a red card versus Brighton after an opponent kicked him, leaving him perplexed.
The ball was pushed away by the Gunners star just as Joel Veltman was about to take the free kick. The star player for the Seagulls attempted to seize the opportunity fast and then kicked Rice, nearly proving a point he couldn't.
The midfielder for Arsenal fell to the ground as players from the opposing teams surrounded him. Veltman and Rice seemed equally irritated with one other. As a result, the 25-year-old will be absent from the north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

Arsenal took the lead but Brighton level back after Declan Rice’s red card
Another long pass from Arsenal, and this time Saka manages to nudge Dunk out of his path to secure the high ball—quite illegally, given the defender's position. Saka then sprints onto it to pass Havertz through cleanly, and the goalie decides to give it to him by sprinting erratically off the line and allowing Havertz to score with a deft lob into the back of the net. Then, knowing full well that he is doing it, Veltman kicks Rice as he is attempting to kick the ball. After rolling about for a while, Rice realises he's alright and runs after the referee to argue his innocence.
By dividing the centre backs and creating a path for Minteh to rush through, Lewis Dunk atones for his previous error. This time, Gabriel, who should have been the large, powerful centre back, behaves timidly and feebly while going into the challenge. He permits Minteh to enter the box and unleash a powerful shot on goal, which David Raya dodges back into danger. Joao Pedro advances and, from the penalty spot, rolls the ball beneath Raya.
