The former Chelsea trainee was dismissed after catching Nathaniel Chalobah in the chest, but as the referee walks over the incident, he appears to be holding a yellow card. Chalobah’s infuriated teammates surrounded the official, and suddenly a red was produced from his pocket.

The sending off comes less than a week after Chelsea’s players were heavily criticised for surrounding the referee in an attempt to get Zlatan Ibrahimovic sent off in their Champions League clash.

Is this any different to the events at Stamford Bridge?
