Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher has apologised after angering manager Thomas Tuchel with his red card against Leicester City.
Gallagher was booked twice in the opening half hour to leave referee Paul Tierney with little choice but to send him off. It was the second time in two games that a Chelsea player has been dismissed for a two yellow cards, after Kalidou Koulibaly saw red during the defeat at Leeds United last time out.
Chelsea still claimed all three points, with Raheem Sterling scoring his first two Premier League goals for the club. However, with Tuchel visibly frustrated by a decision which he said "almost kills the whole football match," the former Crystal Palace loanee has responded.
