'Not his fault' - Chelsea fans question Thomas Tuchel decision after Conor Gallagher red card

A handful of Chelsea supporters have questioned the credibility of Thomas Tuchel as Blues boss after Conor Gallagher was shown a second yellow-card. The 22-year-old midfielder was granted a second successive start for the west Londoners as Leicester City looked to record their first win of the Premier League season.

Gallagher was shown his first yellow after clipping Kieran 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 saw an abundance of space open up for the Foxes winger.

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 - again - finish a Premier League bout with just ten men and, according to a section of fans, it's Tuchel's fault.
