Chelsea player's horrible tackle

In the early morning of December 1, Moises Caicedo was sent off, forcing Chelsea to play with one less player in a 1-1 draw against Arsenal in round 13 of the Premier League.

Caicedo's dangerous tackle on Merino.

The London derby at Stamford Bridge exploded in controversy when Moises Caicedo became the center of attention with a straight red card that forced Chelsea to play with one less man for more than half the match. The decision, which was intervened by VAR, completely changed the course of the much-anticipated confrontation.

From the very first minutes, the match took place at a breathtaking pace. On the sidelines, coach Mikel Arteta continuously reacted to the home team's fierce tackles, while Arsenal quickly received 3 consecutive yellow cards in just the first half hour - a number rarely seen since the 2006/07 season.

The turning point came in the 37th minute. During a dispute in the midfield area, Caicedo kicked Mikel Merino straight in the leg. Initially, referee Anthony Taylor only showed a yellow card, but VAR immediately requested a review. After checking, Mr. Taylor changed the yellow card to a straight red card, expelling the Ecuadorian midfielder from the game for using excessive force.

The card sent Stamford Bridge into a frenzy, as Caicedo quietly walked down the tunnel to boos. For Chelsea, it was a huge blow to their control of the game. Before the moment of being sent off, Enzo Maresca's team had been proactive, pressing effectively and creating many dangerous attacks.

But after Caicedo's red card, the balance began to tilt heavily in the Gunners' favor. However, Chelsea still scored the opening goal in the second half before Arsenal equalized 1-1. This was also the final result of the London derby.
