Goalkeeper David Raya went down injured three times during the game and required treatment on the pitch from medics, with Hurzeler suggesting Arsenal are “making their own rules”. “When I’m looking at them with my football manager’s head on, they’re so professional,” Pardew told TalkSport. “But really and truly, Brighton, although they have definitely upped the tempo and looked better second half, they’ve not really hurt Arsenal. They’re good, they’re strong, they’re powerful.
