US EditionChelsea Star Cops Red Card
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca criticized Premier League referees for inconsistent red card decisions, noting Chelsea has received seven red cards this season.
- On Sunday Moisés Caicedo was sent off after a VAR review for a late challenge on Mikel Merino seven minutes before half-time at Stamford Bridge, leaving Chelsea with 10 men in a 1-1 draw.
- Maresca argued Piero Hincapié escaped dismissal for an apparent elbow on Trevoh Chalobah, citing replays and broadcasters' comments, while referencing Rodrigo Bentancur's yellow card on Nov. 1.
- Despite playing with 10 men Trevoh Chalobah scored on 48 minutes, Arsenal had four players booked in the first half and Riccardo Calafiori was substituted for Myles Lewis-Skelly, who was booked nine minutes after the restart.
- Managers' comments highlighted immediate debate over discipline and targeting, with Mikel Arteta saying `After the sending off of Caicedo, we wanted to settle the game,' and accusing Chelsea of targeting his players.
- Maresca asked referee Anthony Taylor about the incident and said `it was not an elbow`, but insisted `the reality is that it is a red card`, highlighting ongoing debate.
