Andy Murray has reacted to the controversial red card Leandro Trossard got during the Premier League match between Manchester City and Arsenal. Trossard was given a second yellow card in added time of the first half at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday (September 22).
Arsenal were looking to close the two-point gap to their rivals Manchester City on Sunday. However, it didn’t go the way the north London club expected. They trailed early courtesy of Earling Haaland‘s goal. The Gunners then bounced back with goals from Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel Magalhaes to lead 2-1.
Minutes before the end of the first half, Trossard was shown a second yellow card for kicking the ball away after committing a foul. Ten-man Arsenal then played the second half with deep defensive tactics that almost neutralized Man City before John Stones scored a stoppage-time equalizer to ensure both teams took home one point each.
Notwithstanding, the main flashpoint of the game was Trossard’s red card in the first half. The Belgium star was the second Arsenal player to be sent off for kicking the ball after Declan Rice was dismissed again by Brighton and Hove Albion last month. Murray expressed his shock at the sending off social media.
Murray is a supporter of Arsenal as well as Hibernian FC, a Scottish club that his grandfather played for. He has often shown his support for the north London club on social media.
