The referee of the Arsenal and Brighton match, Chris Kavanagh, made a decision that will be the talk of the town for all football fans around the world.
Kavanagh showed Declan Rice a second yellow card and his expulsion in a very controversial game.
It started when Brighton got a free kick after Rice interfered with right-back Veltman.
Rice then touched the ball, which moved away from Veltman, who was trying to pass it and play quickly, and then his foot collided with the foot of the English star.
The referee came from far away, and suddenly gave Rice a second yellow card, so Arsenal completed the match from the 50th minute with 10 players due to this very strange decision.
Before the expulsion, Arsenal was leading with a goal by Kai Havertz, and after the expulsion less than 10 minutes later, Joao Pedro managed to score the equalizer for Brighton.
The picture speaks for itself..
