Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was angry.

Arsenal tied Brighton 1-1 in the away match of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season at Amex Stadium in Brighton, England on the 5th (Korea time). Arsenal recently ended a three-game winning streak. He ranked second with 11 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses (40 points).

Arsenal took a 1-0 lead in the 16th minute of the first half with Lee Sun-Wan Ye-ri's first goal. However, João Pedro's penalty score in the 16th minute of the second half allowed a 1-1 tie. Controversy arose in the process. British media Express reported 'Arteta was outraged by the referee's declaration of a penalty. He voiced disbelief. Arsenal fans also expressed their anger, claiming William Saliba had made contact with the ball before hitting Pedro'




The EPL secretariat said 'Saliba's foul on Pedro led referee to declare a penalty. It was confirmed by VAR. VAR determined that there was enough contact for the penalty kick.

After the game, Arteta said "It's strange. That probably means we've never seen one. I've never seen one in my career. That's why it's new. I've never seen anything like this in my life, so I'm really disappointed with the decision that leads to the goal."

Brighton coach Fabian Wheeler countered. In an interview with British media outlet BBC, Wheeler said "I think we deserve more. There was a better chance. I didn't score a goal" was a clear penalty. It went head to head, but any other body part would say it was a penalty. Pedro touched the ball with his head. Saliba came to block too late."




Meanwhile, Arsenal will play five consecutive home games. Newcastle (8th, League Cup), Manchester United (13th, FA Cup), Tottenham (16th), Aston Villa (19th, EPL) and Dinamo Zagreb (23rd, European Champions League).
