"If I asked everyone in this room did they enjoy this football game, I'm sure maybe one raises his arm because he's a big Arsenal fan, besides that, no chance. There was only one team that tried to play football today. I ask one question - do you ever see in a Premier League game the goalkeeper going down three times?"
"One game we played 60 minutes net time [ball in play], then when you play against Arsenal it's only 50 minutes, that's ten minutes difference. This is what the supporters are paying for, you get my point. In the end we have to make the limits or the Premier League has to make the limits."
"If they win the Premier League, no one will ask how they won it. In the end, it is about the rules. If the referee allows everything, that's the problem. That's why you need rules, limits."
Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory over Brighton at the Amex, with Bukayo Saka's early deflected goal proving decisive. The win extended Arsenal's Premier League lead to seven points following Manchester City's draw with Nottingham Forest. Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler criticized the match as tortuous and questioned the entertainment value, highlighting Arsenal's time-wasting tactics and excessive goalkeeper delays. Hurzeler emphasized the disparity in actual playing time compared to other matches and called for Premier League rule changes to address such practices. He argued that without clear limits on time-wasting, referees face impossible enforcement situations, and suggested that Arsenal's potential title win would overshadow how they achieved it.
