"He asked me about Moi's red card. It's a red card, but why was Bentancur's against Reece not a red card when we were at Spurs away? As a manager, we struggle to understand why they judge in different way. Moi's is red card, yes. Bentancur's is a red card, yes. Why they don't give him a red card? We struggle to understand."
"However, they were unable to cut Arsenal's lead at the top to three points after going 1-0 up thanks to Chalobah. Merino equalised for the visitors and was relieved not to have sustained a serious injury when he was caught by the Chelsea midfielder. I felt my ankle go all the way but luckily I have very mobile ankles, the Arsenal player said. I knew it was a horrible challenge and it was going to be a red card."
Enzo Maresca criticized inconsistent refereeing after Moises Caicedo was sent off for a dreadful tackle on Mikel Merino during Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. Maresca accepted that Caicedo deserved a red but compared the decision to Rodrigo Bentancur avoiding a red for a tackle on Reece James, saying officials judged similar incidents differently. Maresca also questioned why Piero Hincapie was not sent off after Trevoh Chalobah sustained a black eye from an aerial duel. Caicedo will miss upcoming games against Leeds, Bournemouth and Everton, while Merino avoided serious injury.
