Another tweeted: āSomehow got yellow cards got mixed up with yellow trunks and ended up here, very strange.ā
A third fan added: āWaitā¦ What is this referring to?ā

Speaking about the decision, Rice said after the match: āI was shocked. I think you could see in my face I was shocked. Iāve not sprinted back in front of him (Veltman) and smashed the ball away. Iāve touched the ball with the outside of my foot.
āLook, this is the law of the game. If you touch the ball away, even a little bit, obviously itās a red card after my challenge in the first half, which I fully accept was a 50-50 that I didnāt win. But the second-half one, especially with it being in the corner flag, they (Brighton) canāt really progress anywhere from there.ā
The Arsenal star added: āIt was tough, it was harsh, but itās one of those things. I have to move on from it. I will be better for it and I can only praise the players for digging deep for me and the manager (Arteta) for pushing everyone, and the fans as well, who were unbelievable again this afternoon. Thatās how I see it.

āThatās my first sending-off in my career, so I just wanted to apologise to my team-mates, which Iāve done, and to the fans.ā
