Chelsea 'addicted' to... red cards!

Chelsea travel to Nottingham without two stars Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer.

However, Chelsea still easily dominated and created many chances on Nottingham's goal - a team that is in extremely low form with 9 consecutive matches without a win in all competitions.

Under pressure from the visitors, Nottingham stood firm in the first half but completely collapsed in the second half. Center back Josh Acheampong (minute 49) was the one who scored the opening goal for Chelsea.

In the remaining minutes, Pedro Neto (minute 52) and Recce James (minute 84) scored to make it 3-0 for Chelsea.

But the highlight of the match was Malo Gusto's unfortunate red card in the 87th minute.

The French defender was sent off after receiving a second yellow card after a rough tackle on a Nottingham player. Coach Enzo Maresca shook his head in disappointment in the stands.

This was an undeserved red card for Gutso when Chelsea were leading 3-0 and were sure to win. Moreover, this situation was not too dangerous and did not pose any threat to Chelsea's goal.

Not only Gusto, Estêvão Willian also received an undeserved yellow card a few minutes later for kicking the ball away after the referee blew the whistle.

Red cards have been a problem for Chelsea this season. In the last six games, Chelsea have had to leave the field one man short due to red cards in four. Chelsea has received the most red cards in the Premier League this season.

The Chelsea players' addiction to red cards worries fans because no championship candidate plays like that. Receiving too many red cards is a sign of the blue team's lack of composure and lack of fighting spirit.
