Chelsea's Red Card Crisis: Sutton Blames Ill-Discipline

Chris Sutton says Chelsea's seven red cards in 28 games are undermining their top‑four bid, calling for collective discipline.

Chelsea have received seven red cards in 28 Premier League matches, an average of one every four games, with winger Pedro Neto the latest to be sent off in a 2‑1 loss to Arsenal. The dismissals include Robert Sanchez, Malo Gusto, Trevoh Chalobah, Moises Caicedo, Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella.

Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton criticised the club on BBC Radio 5 Live, saying the ill‑discipline is a collective problem that is hurting their top‑four ambitions. He added that the squad, though young, is old enough to know better and must take accountability.
