What happened. Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has refused to back down from comments that Arsenal 'make their own rules'. He made the jibe last season after a 1-0 defeat in March, claiming only 'one team who tried to play football'.

• Hurzeler said he will never be the kind of manager who tries to win that way.
• He argued every team wastes time but there has to be a limit.
• Arsenal went on to lift the Premier League crown last term.

“Then, they make their own rules.”

— Fabian Hurzeler

Brighton host Arsenal this weekend, a few months after Hurzeler's criticism of the champions.
