Mikel Arteta says Joel Veltman deserved red card in Brighton draw - ‘If we had to play with 10, so did they'

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was left frustrated with “inconsistency” from match officials after Declan Rice was shown a second yellow card for kicking the ball away. The Spaniard said that Brighton defender Joel Veltman should have also seen red and that he had been given no explanation about the decision making. The game finished 1-1 as the Seagulls equalised following Rice’s expulsion.
