"Same story. Two things - anyone watching this game or the previous two games, there are two things we have to improve. That is our discipline and defending set-plays and if we can do that, then we can still have a very, very good season."
"Indeed, only Sunderland in 2009-10 and Leicester City in 1994-95 (both eight) have had more different players receive a red card in a Premier League season than Chelsea in 2025-26, with Neto being their seventh."
Chelsea lost 2-1 to Arsenal, with William Saliba and Jurrien Timber scoring for the visitors while Piero Hincapie's own goal provided Chelsea's only response. Pedro Neto received two yellow cards within three minutes, making Chelsea the Premier League team with the most red cards this season with seven different players sent off. Manager Liam Rosenior identified discipline and set-piece defense as critical areas requiring improvement. Chelsea dropped outside the top five following Liverpool's victory over West Ham. Rosenior emphasized these two specific weaknesses must be corrected to secure Champions League qualification and maintain a competitive season.
