Arsenal Fined £25k After Six Yellow Cards in Chelsea Clash

Arsenal are set to receive an automatic £25,000 fine from the Football Association after collecting six yellow cards in Sunday's fiery 1-1 Premier League draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Under current FA rules, any team that accumulates six or more yellow cards in a single match is subject to the fine. The six Arsenal players booked were Martin Zubimendi, Cristhian Mosquera, Riccardo Calafiori, Piero Hincapie, substitute Myles Lewis-Skelly, and Viktor Gyokeres.

Chelsea had two players cautioned - Marc Cucurella and Trevoh Chalobah - while Moises Caicedo initially received a yellow before it was upgraded to a red card after a VAR review for a dangerous challenge on Mikel Merino.

The 1-1 draw leaves Arsenal five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table, with Chelsea one point further back in third. Chelsea now have seven red cards across all competitions this season and sit bottom of the Premier League's Fair Play table.
