Trossard was shown a second yellow card for delaying the restart during first half stoppage time
The Arsenal player got a second yellow card for waiting too long for the game to start again during City’s tie with Arsenal.
When Trossard hit Bernardo Silva and then kicked the ball across the pitch, he had already been warned.
At the start of the second half, the judge quickly showed the Gunners his red card, reducing their number of players to 10.
But a new look at the event suggests that the firing may have been too harsh.
Oliver is holding the whistle in his hands and calling for a free kick as Trossard pulls his leg back to kick the ball.
One fan wrote on social media, “What’s even crazier is that Trossard kicked the ball while Oliver was blowing the whistle.”
Because the Belgian was sent off, the visitors had to play the whole second half with only 10 players.
He also won’t be able to play next Saturday at home against Leicester because he is suspended.
Before the break, Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel had scored for Mikel Arteta’s team, putting them ahead.

Even though David Raya made a string of great stops, they couldn’t hold on.
In the eighth minute of extra time, substitute John Stones finally broke through by putting the ball in the back of the net with his head.
The draw means that both teams have still not lost in the Premier League this season.
Also, Arsenal has now gone four games without losing to City.
At the same time, the Gunners are now fourth in the table, two points behind the team in first place.
