After a grueling match against Brighton, Arsenal's Jurrien Timber hobbled off the field with an injury. Fans were worried about the Dutch defender's condition, especially since he had missed most of last season due to a serious knee problem. However, their fears were alleviated when manager Mikel Arteta reassured everyone that Timber's injury was just a case of cramps.
Arteta gave the update during the post-match press conference, where he also expressed his frustration over Declan Rice's red card. The English midfielder was sent off for a second yellow card in the second half, leaving the Gunners with a disadvantage. Arteta felt that the decision was unfair, especially since Brighton's Joao Pedro had not received a booking earlier in the game for a similar offense.
Despite the setback, Arteta was impressed by his team's reaction to going a man down. He described their performance as "amazing," particularly their response from the crowd. The Gunners even had two one-on-one chances to score, but unfortunately, they were unable to secure a win.
The match had started off well for Arsenal, as they dominated the early exchanges and took the lead through Kai Havertz's goal in the 38th minute. However, everything changed after Rice's dismissal, and Brighton took advantage by equalizing through Pedro in the 60th minute. Both teams had opportunities to score a winner, but in the end, they settled for a 1-1 draw.
It was a frustrating result for Arsenal, but Arteta remained hopeful about the team's performance. He also expressed his gratitude for the fans' support, especially during difficult moments like the one they faced against Brighton. Despite the setback, the Gunners will continue to work hard and strive for better results in the future.
