Showing a red versus Bournemouth, William Saliba became the third Arsenal player sent off this season.

Following a sloppy back ball from Leandro Trossard after 28 minutes, the French defender brought down Cherries forward Evanilson.

Saliba first reserved the challenge. Rob Jones sent for an on-field review, though, and changed it to a red.

‘I mean, he has a long way to go,’ Jamie Redknapp stated on Sky Sports. William Saliba, you’re in trouble here, I thought as soon it happened.

He finds the incorrect side. It’s clearly when he trusts our plays that ball, let’s see it here; clearly, trust side makes a major error.

Following a sloppy back ball from Leandro Trossard, the French defender brought down Evanilson.

‘He lacks control of the ball’. Saliba is clearly trying to crush the play, which is okay as even it was someone else that was offside.

‘He now gains himself that yard advance. Panic strikes, though, as he plays the ball. Salibo grabs hold; he is among the fastest Premier League defenders, hence he would have returned in time absolutely without hesitation. Still, is it a foul, absolutely?”

Former Arsenal winger Theo Walcott added: ‘I think, as well, when you look at this situation, when you’re any sort of any professional footballer now, and they’re clean through on goal, is a clear goal scoring opportunity.

‘For me, the choice is most likely the correct one since now we are considering a scenario in which we will be evaluating athletes’ pace.’

Salibo’s red at Vitality Stadium indicates Arsenal has dropped to 10-men three times in their first eight games of the season.

Saliba was initially booked but an on field review resulted in the decision being overturned
