In an exciting match in north London, Joao Pedro's second-half goal helped Brighton equalize after Arsenal's Declan Rice was sent off.
Arsenal seemed set for a perfect start to the season when Bukayo Saka set up Kai Havertz for a lobbed goal over Bart Verbruggen in the 38th minute.
The game shifted dramatically after Declan Rice received a second yellow card in the 49th minute for delaying a free-kick, leaving Arsenal with 10 men.
Brighton took advantage, leveling the score in the 58th minute when David Raya parried Yankuba Minteh’s shot, allowing Joao Pedro to score.
Havertz had a chance to secure a win for Arsenal but was denied by Verbruggen. Late in the game, Brighton’s Yasin Ayari also had a chance, but his shot was saved by Raya.
