Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo admits regret over his 'revenge tackle' on Gabriel Martinelli during victory at Arsenal.

Caicedo's challenge forced Martinelli off in the first-half on Sunday, with the Brazilian now carrying an ankle injury.

Gunners medical chief Sean O'Driscoll branded the tackle "a disgrace".

The Ecuador took action after seeing Brighton teammate Kaoru Mitoma cleaned out by Martinelli moments earlier.

However, responding to a post excusing his tackle, Caicedo stated: "If I could go back in time, I wouldn't make that bad tackle."
