"From Chelsea's point of view, Pedro Neto let them down badly, What an idiot getting sent off like that. You're already on a yellow card for mouthiness, which is stupid enough, and then to fly in like that on Martinelli when your team is chasing the game? It's brainless. He's a senior player now, and he's effectively killed any chance of a comeback for his teammates."
Chelsea suffered a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in the London derby at the Emirates Stadium. Portuguese winger Pedro Neto was dismissed in the second half after receiving a second yellow card for a reckless challenge on Gabriel Martinelli. Neto had already been cautioned for dissent following Arsenal's go-ahead goal by Jurrien Timber. BBC pundit Chris Sutton heavily criticized Neto's discipline, describing his actions as brainless and noting that the senior player let his team down by effectively ending their comeback chances. Arsenal's victory extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to five points over Manchester City, with the Gunners scoring through William Saliba and benefiting from a Piero Hincapie own goal before Timber's set-piece goal.
