Arsenal are set to receive an automatic fine from the Football Association (FA) after collecting seven yellow cards in their fiery 1-1 Premier League draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Under FA rules, any team that accumulates six or more yellow cards in a single match is liable for a £25,000 fine. Referee Anthony Taylor issued a total of seven bookings to Arsenal players, including Martin Zubimendi, Cristhian Mosquera, Riccardo Calafiori, Piero Hincapie, Myles Lewis-Skelly, and Viktor Gyokeres.
The feisty encounter also saw Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo sent off for a dangerous challenge on Mikel Merino, following a VAR review that overturned an initial yellow card. Chelsea have now received four red cards in 13 league games this season, placing them bottom of the Premier League's Fair Play table.
Mikel Merino's second-half header cancelled out Trevoh Chalobah's opener, leaving Arsenal five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table, with Chelsea a further point behind in third.
