Arsenal star Riccardo Calafiori appeared to suggest that referee Michael Oliver’s decision to send off Leandro Trossard was unnecessary during Arsenal’s 2-2 draw against Manchester City. Trossard, who had already been booked, was shown a second yellow card just before halftime.
According to the Premier League’s match centre, the booking was not for a foul on Bernardo Silva, but for delaying the restart by kicking the ball away.
This marks the second time in three games that Arsenal have had a player sent off for a similar offence. Declan Rice was shown a red card in the draw against Brighton, causing him to miss the North London derby, but he returned for the match against City.
