Worst red card decision I've ever seen' - Arsenal fans fuming as Declan Rice is sent off in bizarre circumstances against Brighton, ruling him out of north London derby against Tottenham

Arsenal fans could not believe what they were seeing as Declan Rice was shown a red card against Brighton after appearing to be kicked.

Rice was given his marching orders by referee Chris Kavanagh shortly after half-time at the Emirates Stadium. He was penalised for fouling Joel Veltman but then stepped across the Brighton defender and got whacked by a swinging leg. Fans inside the stadium were chanting 'off, off, off', hoping to see punishment dished out to Veltman. But Rice received a second yellow card, seemingly for having subtly knocked the ball away as Veltman tried to take the free-kick.

can you show the bit where he kicks the ball away?

[Freddie-xs]

The ref was a joke never a second yellow

[NayZhong]

I just saw Veltman kick the ball right into Dec.

[AchocchipGod]

Ref:well let’s ruin another players game Declan rice you’re off

[BenLuke-ol]

I’m an arsenal fan and I think it’s soft but nothing to argue with. It’s the rules and rice knew he was on a booking. Ref COOULD and SHOULD have used common sense but yes of the law it’s the right call. Rice was stupid

[thomaslange]

Declan Rice is a joke! :D
He is always on trouble. He had a yellow card already and then kicks the ball away...
How stupid is that. He is SO overrated.

The ball still rolling for a free kick though

[kainbeattie]

how can anyone argue that😂you can’t do that when you’re on a yellow

[puychenin]

look, he nearly broke the guys leg, that must have really hurt....oh, no..he's just got up, he's alright.

[ProPlayerTrainingZone]

man u say its not shocking. they deserve 4 red cards

[sonagoldie]

Epl jokes continues... either its VAR or the Referees

[davidfinn]

He was shown a yellow card for the kicking the ball away offence, and as it was his second yellow hence the red. This video is misleading in branding and content. Bah.

[thementor]

It is a red end of, engineered red sure but hey you have to be smart. All players are trying to get others sent off.

[NayNay-hwim]

Horrendous officiating, its embarrassing

[stephenowen]

Well are you gonna actually show the incident or just waffle a load of tripe in a stupid accent?

[dbizz]

The only 'shocking' thing is that Rice who was already on a Yellow decided to unnecessarily commit a Yellow card offence.

[TheCriticalPolitician]

'North London derby'. 😂😂 Please, look at the map!

[faraibundafaraibunda]

Yes he deserved to have another yellow card

[sudharshanve]

Wow!!! That play acting after going down deserved standing ovation. 👏👏👏.

football rule is clear you better tackle someone hard than silly mistake like that, you never know where that quick free kick would have go, so that simple touch denied Brighton something
