Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior insists he was fouled in the lead up to Brighton's first goal of their 3-0 defeat.

Kiwior was criticised for his role in Julio Enciso's opener.

But he told Viaplay: "I felt contact and lost my boot and didn't even see the goal.

"I hoped VAR would intervene and chalk off the goal, but unfortunately, the ref saw it differently.

"After we conceded the second our heads dropped and we couldn't come back."
