“What on earth is going on with football”- Andy Murray expresses dissent as Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard controversially sent off during Premiere League

Andy Murray voiced his frustration over the controversial red card issued to Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard in a Premier League match on Sunday, September 22. Trossard was sent off in unusual circumstances in the 2-2 draw between Manchester City and Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium. Trossard was dismissed after receiving a yellow card with just seconds to go until half-time. Arsenal were leading 2-1, with Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel Magalhaes finding the back of the net after Erling Haaland had given City an early lead. A few minutes before the first half was about to conclude, Trossard, already on a yellow card, challenged Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva.Following the foul, the Belgian kicked the ball away and was shown his second yellow card. As a result, Trossard had to walk off the pitch, leaving Arsenal a man short for the remainder of the match. City then scored a late winner through John Stones to share the points.

The Premier League Match Centre later explained on X that Trossard was shown the second yellow card for delaying the restart and not for his foul on Silva.Murray, who has been a loyal supporter of Arsenal, voiced his dissent over the dismissal and wrote on X:
