Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice avoided a red card during the Gunners' 3-0 defeat to Brighton after subtly fouling Malick Yalcouyé near the end of the match. Rice was shown a yellow card on the pitch, and a subsequent VAR review by Timothy Wood cleared the incident without upgrading it to a red card.
