Arsenal fans discover what Dermot Gallagher said about similar incident to Declan Rice's against Brighton after he defended referee's decision

Arsenal fans were not impressed when former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher defended the official's decision on the Declan Rice incident against Brighton and they will be even less so after an old clip did the rounds on social media.

The Gunners dropped points for the first time this season as they drew 1-1 with the Seagulls at the Emirates on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta's men were in control with a 1-0 lead before Declan Rice was shown a second yellow card for tapping the ball away as Joel Veltman attempted to take a free-kick shortly after half-time.
