The former West Ham captain was penalized for deliberately kicking the ball away after the referee awarded a free-kick to Brighton.
Brighton took advantage of their numerical superiority and equalized through Joao Pedro. Despite Brighton’s efforts to secure a win, Arsenal managed to hold on and earn a point.
“I think from my behalf, that’s my first sending off in my career, so I just wanted to apologise obviously to my teammates, which I’ve done, and to the fans,” Rice was quoted by Arsenal News Central.
“When you get sent off, it’s never nice, you get a sense of guilt over you, and I was lucky today that my teammates really helped me out and we didn’t lose the game. I’ll learn from it.”
