Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has hit out at Arsenal for time-wasting during his side's 1-0 defeat to the North Londoners.
Bukayo Saka's goal earned the Premier League leaders a hard-fought win at The Amex Stadium on Wednesday night, though Hurzeler was unhappy with the tactics of the visitors.
According to Opta, Arsenal took 30 minutes and 51 seconds to restart play against Brighton, their highest total in a Premier League match this season. Furthermore, Arsenal spent an average of 31.4 seconds to get the ball back into play from corners, goal kicks, throws and free-kicks.
It follows criticism of the Premier League this season, with a greater reliance on set-pieces and increased pauses in play as a result.
Hurzeler hit out at Arsenal's approach to the game and said Brighton were the only team 'who tried to play football'.
"I will never be that kind of manager who tries to win in that way. I want to do well. I want my players to keep improving, keep playing football on the pitch.
"In the end, of course, every team will manage and waste time, but I think there has to be a limit, and the limit has to be set by the Premier League. The limit has to be set by the referees, at the moment they just do what they want.
"If I would ask now everyone in the room if he really enjoyed this football game I'm sure maybe one raises his arm because he is a big Arsenal fan but besides that, no chance.
"We can't control these kind of things. I think therefore the Premier League has to find a rule. It is not my business. I might have been complaining about one action of time wasting. There were so many so could be one action of that.
"There are different kinds of winning. If they win the Premier League, nobody will ask how they win the Premier League. You can really feel that they will do everything to win this game. In the end it is about the rules, if the Premier League and the referee allows everything then it is difficult. Then they make their own rules. At the moment I have the feeling they are doing their own rules no matter how they are playing."
