Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Amex Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Brighton & Hove Albion FC and Arsenal FC.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Arsenal FC that had 414 games and scored 725 goals.
  • 10' Brighton & Hove Albion FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Arsenal FC's 4-3-3 shape.
  • 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Declan Rice, as he is very good at scoring at Amex Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 16' Ethan Nwaneri has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 16 minutes.
  • 21' Arsenal FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 26' Arsenal FC come into this ranked 2 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 31' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 36' Kaoru Mitoma, a Japan forward, has 11 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 41' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Fabian Hürzeler will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 45' That looks like a foul for a card for Ethan Nwaneri.
  • 46' Martinelli is replacing Ethan Nwaneri for the Arsenal FC side.
  • 51' Brighton & Hove Albion FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
  • 56' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Brighton & Hove Albion FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 61' What a moment for Joao Pedro! That strike on 61 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 62' Fresh legs for Brighton & Hove Albion FC! Kaoru Mitoma comes on to replace Simon Adingra.
  • 64' That is a card for Brighton & Hove Albion FC. Joel Veltman will be fuming at that decision.
  • 64' Arsenal FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Martin Odegaard is hanging Jorginho on the field on 64 minute.
  • 67' The whistle greets Igor as he departs to be replaced by Adam Webster.
  • 72' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Brighton & Hove Albion FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 77' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 81' Yankubah Minteh was booked on 81.
  • 84' Mikel Merino has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 84.
  • 89' It looks like no one’s ball. Brighton & Hove Albion FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Riccardo Calafiori on 90.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
