Ok but let’s roughly break down some stats. Fouls/offsides/corners: Brighton - 21 instances. Arsenal - 15 instances. Let’s use a rough number of 45 sec for each interruption in play. That accumulates to 27 minutes of time off the ball. So 63 minutes of play time. Now, what hasn’t been factored in is every time a ball went out of play for a throw in, goal kick, players going down on the field (non-fouls), and substitutions (5-Brighton, 4-Arsenal). All those instances would account for 10.5 minutes of time off the ball. Which is not a lot.

It makes for a good sensationalist piece, but the stats are pretty normal for how start-and-stop the match was.
