Sun Sep 22 21:11:33 UTC 2024: ## Arsenal’s Trossard Sent Off for Kicking Away Ball in Controversial Decision
**Manchester, England -** Arsenal midfielder Leandro Trossard was shown a red card in the Premier League clash against Manchester City on Sunday, sparking outrage from both the player’s team and manager. The incident occurred just before half-time when, following a foul on Bernardo Silva, Trossard kicked the ball away in frustration.
Referee Michael Oliver, deeming the action objectionable, issued a second yellow card to Trossard, who was already booked. The decision left Arsenal visibly stunned, with manager Mikel Arteta covering his head in disbelief.
Arteta, visibly frustrated, expressed his bewilderment at the inconsistency of refereeing decisions, citing a similar incident involving Declan Rice earlier in the season.
Despite the setback, Arsenal went on to lead 2-1 at the half-time mark, courtesy of goals from Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel Magalhaes.
The red card is likely to be a hot topic of discussion, with Arsenal fans and Arteta questioning the severity of the punishment.
