On September 23, in the 5th round of the Premier League, Manchester City drew 2-2 with Arsenal at home. When talking about the referee’s decisions, Arsenal legend Ian Wright expressed that Calafiori’s goal should not have happened, and subsequently, the referee sent off Trossard to find balance, leaving Arsenal with only ten men in the second half.
Ian Wright talked about Calafiori’s equalizing goal: “I have a lot of sympathy for Manchester City. Since the referee called the captain (Walker) over for a conversation, the game should have waited for him to return to his position before resuming. In my view, this is the logical thing to do. The huge mistake made by the referee led to Calafiori scoring the equalizer.”
Continuing on the topic of Trossard’s red card, Ian Wright said: “I think after that, the referee would be looking to find balance, making calls that favor Manchester City. To a large extent, this also led to Trossard being shown a red card in the subsequent game. If there wasn’t such a red card for Trossard, everyone would be discussing the referee’s mistake with Walker.”
