Latest evidence shows Leandro Trossard kicked the ball away while the referee was still blowing the whistle for an Arsenal player.

Leandro Trossard was booked for a second time for failing to get the ball back into play. Trossard was fouled by Bernardo Silva after challenging for the ball. However, the Arsenal player kicked the ball far away and was booked.

Trossard cleared the ball while the referee was still blowing his whistle.

But this seems to be a decision that is too harsh for Leandro Trossard. According to the latest image, when Trossard was swinging his leg to kick the ball, referee Michael Oliver was still holding the whistle in his mouth to blow the penalty. Obviously, with the momentum of Trossard’s swing, this player could hardly stop when he heard the referee blow the whistle at that moment.

Trossard’s red card meant Arsenal had to play the entire second half with one less man. Despite a valiant defence, Arsenal could not hold on for the win. John Stones scored a late equaliser for City in stoppage time, denying Arsenal the chance to go top of the table.

This is the second time this season that an Arsenal player has received a second yellow card for obstructing play. Previously, Declan Rice was sent off in the match against Brighton, which also cost Arsenal points.

Coach Mikel Arteta also expressed his anger at the referee’s decision to show a red card: “Red card? I don’t want to comment. I saw the situation. It was very clear. Now I will expect to have 100 Premier League games played 10 v 11.”
