Leandro Trossard became the latest Arsenal player to be sent off for delaying the restart of play after kicking the ball away following a free kick awarded against the team.
Trossard featured in Arsenal’s lineup against Manchester City, playing in an unfamiliar midfield role as Mikel Arteta looked to maximise his available options.
The Belgian received two yellow cards in the first half, leading to his dismissal and leaving Arsenal in a tough spot.
Trossard’s second yellow card, which resulted in his sending off, was widely regarded as a poor decision on his part. Fans were surprised that he would risk being sent off when already on a booking.
After the game, most fans and pundits agreed that Trossard had only himself to blame. According to Mirror Football, the Belgian explained to his teammates in the dressing room that he didn’t hear the referee’s whistle.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Trossard must take responsibility for his yellow card and do better in his next matches for the team.

Arsenal must wake up quickly to understand discipline is paramount this year!. A distinct lack of it has cost us four points and a top spot in the table.
The time wasting and delaying tactics have to be deployed more maturely. Within the rules of the game as they stand.
I believe that completely tbh – he didn’t exactly have much time to take in the fact the whistle had been blown, and it was in a loud stadium. Less than a second in the heat of the moment? I do think the ref should have given him the benefit of the doubt there.
It’s like giving away a penalty when someone kicks the ball at your hand from close range – how can you say it’s your fault? How can you learn from it and do better next time? It just happened.
That’s true
Wasting time when Silva was down. There was an injured player.How do you wast time.
Good point
