In the match where ten-man Arsenal drew 2-2 away against Manchester City, Trossard’s first-half red card from two yellows became a subject of controversy.
Arsenal were frustrated by what they perceived as inconsistent refereeing, as Manchester City winger Doku escaped a yellow card earlier in the half for kicking the ball away. Playing with one man down, Arsenal withstood a relentless bombardment from Manchester City for 56 minutes but conceded an equalizing goal at the last minute to Stones.
When asked about Trossard’s red card, Kalafiori told Sky Sports, “I don’t want to say too much. For me, the referees must do their job to ensure the spectacle of the game. In this case, they should not intervene too much.”
“I think Trossard didn’t even hear the whistle. Please, you just need to stick to your jobs and don’t overdo it.”
