Conor Gallagher has apologised to his Chelsea teammates, the club's staff and fans for the red card he was shown in the clash against Leicester City. The 22-year-old tarnished his second successive start under Thomas Tuchel with a 'rash' sending off.
He was shown his first yellow after clipping Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Just over five minutes later, the Chelsea midfielder was shown a second for a foul on Harvey Barnes after a loose Marc Cucurella pass carved open space for the Foxes winger to run into - Gallagher brought Barnes down to stop the counter-attack and he was duly dismissed.
The Cobham graduate's marching orders is the second successive red card shown to a Chelsea player after Kalidou Koulibaly was sent offer versus Leeds United at Elland Road. The Blues have had to finish another Premier League bout with just ten men but, despite the huge challenge at hand, Tuchel's side waltzed away with three points this week.
