Former Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson has criticized referee Chris Kavanagh for sending off Declan Rice during Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Brighton on Sunday.
In the match, Arsenal initially took the lead with a goal from Kai Havertz, assisted by Bukayo Saka. Rice received his first yellow card for a foul on Brighton’s Joël Veltman in the 42nd minute, and a second booking in the 49th minute, leading to his dismissal.
