Pedro Neto was subsequently shown a red card for receiving two bookings in quick succession. The Chelsea winger was initially cautioned for his protests following Arsenal's second goal and then received a second yellow for cynically bringing down Gabriel Martinelli."
"Neto's dismissal marked the ninth time Chelsea have had a player sent off this campaign. Express Sport rates and slates the Blues... An anxious start for the Chelsea goalkeeper. He was overly relaxed on the ball at the edge of his own box and Viktor Gyokeres nearly punished him but couldn't quite dispossess him."
