GOAL CANCELLED: Decline Rice Red card has been cancelled as Brighton Goal is disallowed after VAR careful review after the match
Piers Morgan has slammed the decision to send off Declan Rice in Arsenal‘s Premier League clash with Brighton.
After receiving a first-half booking, Rice was shown a second yellow card shortly after the break despite appearing to be kicked by Joel Veltman when the Brighton defender went to take a free-kick.
Replays showed Rice toed the ball away from Rice just before he tried to take the set-piece, but it still looked a very dubious call, and Morgan was having none of it.
Taking to X, the Arsenal super-fan fumed: ‘What the f*** was that? Declan Rice sent off for being kicked to pieces? Worst red card decision I’ve ever seen.’
Morgan’s mood was not helped by Joao Pedro cancelling out Kai Havertz‘s first-half goal just nine minutes after Rice’s red card.
