Declan Rice was controversially sent off for the first time in the Premier League as Arsenal were held to a contentious 1-1 draw against Brighton on Saturday.
Mikel Arteta's side were leading through Kai Havertz's first-half strike when Rice saw red after the interval at the Emirates Stadium.
In a bizarre incident, the Arsenal midfielder earned a second booking for gently kicking the ball away and failing to retreat after fouling Brighton's Joel Veltman.
Rice looked bewildered by the decision, while Arteta sought an explanation from the fourth official as Arsenal fans chanted "you're not fit to referee" at Chris Kavanagh.
The Premier League said Rice was sent off for "delaying the restart".
