Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka has praised his teammates following a 1-1 Premier League draw against Brighton & Hove Albion at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners had a deserved 1-0 advantage at the interval, but the dynamics of the game changed after an unfortunate red card for Declan Rice in the 49th minute.
Brighton managed to equalise before the hour mark, but Arsenal stood firm to secure a point. Saka and Kai Havertz could have easily scored the winner on another day.
Speaking after the game, Saka said: "At first it was a bit difficult for us but once we adjusted, we defended really well.
"We had a few chances in the end and could have even nicked it. A big credit to the boys, we fought hard, and we take the point and move."
Arsenal dropped two valuable points in front of their fans and they are now third in the standings, two points adrift of leaders Manchester City.
The Gunners will face Tottenham Hotspur and City on the road after the international break. It won't be straightforward for them.
