Chelsea’s disciplinary issues cost them once again as Pedro Neto was sent off in their 2–1 defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League.
The first half was defined by set pieces at the Emirates Stadium. William Saliba headed Arsenal ahead from a trademark corner initially met by Gabriel, but Chelsea responded on the stroke of half time as Reece James’s near-post corner was flicked into his own net by Piero Hincapié—just moments after the Blues felt they should have been awarded a penalty for a Declan Rice handball.
