Arsenal star Riccardo Calafiori appeared to suggest referee Michael Oliver didn’t need to send off Leandro Trossard in Arsenal’s draw with Manchester City.

Trossard, who was already on a booking, was shown a second yellow card on the stroke of half-time. The Premier League’s match centre confirmed it was not for a foul on Bernardo Silva, for which City were awarded a free-kick, but rather for delaying the restart by kicking the ball away.

was the second time in three games that Arsenal have seen a player sent off for the offence. Declan Rice saw red in the draw at home to Brighton, missing the North London derby before returning to league action against City on Sunday.
