📢‘The refs are a joke’ – Liverpool and Arsenal fans rage as Chelsea star Tosin escapes ESCAPES an early red card after bringing down Diogo Jota ‎

Arsenal fans rage ‘it’s laughable’ as Chelsea star Tosin escapes red card against Liverpool for ‘same foul’ as Saliba

Controversy rages at Anfield as Blues’ defender escapes with a yellow card

ANGRY Arsenal fans claim Chelsea’s Tosin Adarabioyo escaped a red card for an identical foul to William Saliba’s sending-off 24 hours earlier.

Adarabioyo ended Diogo Jota’s surge through at Liverpool – just like Gunners’ defender Saliba did when halting Evanilson at Bournemouth on Saturday.

But referee John Brooks only dished out a yellow card to the Blues’ defender – a decision blasted as “laughable” by many Arsenal supporters.

One fan claimed: “No different to Saliba’s red card yesterday, but no VAR intervention. Why? Jota was away on goal.”

Another posted: “Saliba got a red for the exact same thing yesterday?”

A third argued: “If Tosin isn’t worried that Jota is in, he wouldn’t foul him. It’s a stonewall red card

And a fourth added: “The refs in this country are a joke.”

But supporters of other clubs hit back – insisting there was a CLEAR difference between the two incidents in the middle of the pitch.

They reckon Saliba was definitely the last man – whereas Adarabioyo’s team-mate Levi Colwill might have been able to catch Jota.

One fan wrote: “Saliba was the last man, Tosin would get a red if Colwill wasn’t in close proximity. He got bailed out by Colwill.”
