Mikel Arteta’s side seemed on course for victory after taking the lead, but Brighton found a way back into the game around the hour mark.
It was a goal that Arsenal could have avoided, as they had otherwise been solid at the back.
João Pedro scored from a rebound after David Raya made a great save, but some Gooners believe Gabriel could have prevented the goal with better defending.
A report from Football Insider reveals that some fans think there was a gap between Gabriel and William Saliba that the Brazilian should have covered.
His failure to do so led to the opening that Brighton exploited to score.

We should have a proper attitude to the club in times of defeat this attitude of blaming and name calling is unacceptable as it seeks to make the players unsettled ahead of upcoming games each player is part of a win situation and part of a loose situation and our attitude as a club should change
Ian Wright felt that some Arsenal fans were ‘impatient’ during their 1-1 draw with Brighton on Saturday, despite the fact their side were down to 10 men
Declan Rice saw red early in the second-half for Arsenal, who were in front at the time courtesy of a goal from Kai Havartz. Joao Pedro would go on to restore parity later in the match to ensure the Seagulls shared a share of spoil after Rice Early Bath.
The Gunners’ numerical disadvantage left them in an unfortunate position and Wright, covering the game for Premier League Productions, pointed out that some within The Emirates didn’t seem to appreciate that a point would be a good result given the circumstances.
Wright said post-match: “With Arsenal fans you can hear in the stadium there’s a little bit of impatience in respect of attacking them.
“[But] you’ve got to recognise there’s a point in the game where you realise we’ve got to get a point. They made some very good substitutions in Enciso and Adringa coming on they are dangerous players and Pedro already there causing problems.
“You’ve got to make sure you don’t lose the game and that’s why I in the end I thought the point was a very, very good one.”
Rice was visibly stunned when he received his marching orders from referee Chris Kavanagh and the England star took time to apologize after the game
