Last Sunday, Brighton hosted Arsenal at home in an interesting clash for the interests of each team: Arsenal wanted to keep track of Manchester City while Brighton wanted to get into the international cup area. The match was a categorical 3-0 for the locals with goals from Julio Enciso, Deniz Undav and Pervis Estupiñán.
A key moment in the game was the hard challenge of the Ecuadorian Moisés Caicedo on the Brazilian striker Gabriel Martinelli who had to be replaced due to the injury that was caused. Although there is still no official report on the extent of the injury, it is expected that the Arsenal striker will be able to play again for the remainder of the season.

After the game, and with his heart rate somewhat lower, the Ecuadorian midfielder apologized for that harsh attack on his colleague: “If I could go back in time, I would not make such an aggressive attack,” he said on his Twitter account.
The concern of Arsenal fans increased when the player was seen wearing a protective boot after the match. When the club doctor, Gary O’Driscoll, was consulted, it was clear: “A fairly strong foul, in any case I think he will be back soon,” according to the British media Talk Sport.
