Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler accused Arsenal of bending the rules following their 1-0 win that extended the Gunners' lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points. The German manager claimed Arsenal were "making their own rules" and alleged that Brighton was the only team attempting to play football during the match.
Despite the victory, Arsenal once again faced accusations of time-wasting, with Hurzeler suggesting that the Gunners were not playing within the spirit of the game. Arsenal now sits comfortably at the summit of the Premier League table after securing three points at Brighton's expense.
