Overview
- Six Arsenal players were cautioned at Stamford Bridge: Martin Zubimendi, Cristhian Mosquera, Riccardo Calafiori, Piero Hincapie, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Viktor Gyokeres.
- Chelsea’s Moises Caicedo was sent off in the first half after referee Anthony Taylor upgraded a yellow to a straight red following a VAR review, and he now faces suspension.
- The FA’s escalating framework doubles the fine to £50,000 for another six-card match in the same season, with a further £25,000 added if a team records three or more such incidents.
- Arsenal remain five points clear at the top of the Premier League after the 1-1 draw.
- No Arsenal player has reached the five-yellow threshold for a one-match ban, with Calafiori one booking away, and the team’s 18 yellows are the third-lowest in the league this season.
