Pitch-side microphone reveal former Arsenal man Danny Welbeck's sneaky unseen role in Gunners midfielder Declan Rice being sent off against Brighton

Footage has shown Danny Welbeck's previously unseen role in Arsenal star Declan Rice's sending off against Brighton.

Rice was sent off for the first time in his career during the 1-1 draw at the Emirates, following a controversial second yellow card.

There was initial confusing over the second yellow as the England international appeared to be kicked by Joel Veltman.

Replays showed Rice toed the ball away and the Premier League revealed that referee Chris Kavanagh punished the midfielder for 'delaying the restart'.

Brighton have posted a video on their TikTok account with the caption 'rules are rules' with a clip showing what former Arsenal star Welbeck said before Rice got a second yellow.
