Seagulls defender Tariq Lamptey made contact with the Brazilian, but VAR did not overturn the initial decision from referee John Brooks. De Zerbi declined to engage in a debate about the penalty, stating, “The penalty was clear and we move on.” He acknowledged the difficulty of creating scoring opportunities without key players, especially against a strong team like Arsenal.

Despite this, the team is focused on winning their matches and is prepared for the challenge ahead. Looking ahead, they have upcoming opportunities to secure a top-half finish, including a home game against Mauricio Pochettino’s Blues. The team’s primary focus is on themselves and winning games rather than analyzing other matches.

They are determined to give their best every week and strive to improve. Additionally, the text promotes joining a new WhatsApp community to receive daily Mirror Football content and special offers, promotions, and adverts.
