Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton expressed his disbelief at Pedro Neto’s lack of composure during Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

The Blues’ star was sent off in a frantic second half while the Stamford Bridge giants were chasing an equaliser, leaving his team a man down.

Sutton criticised the winger’s individual error, emphasising how it undermined the collective effort of the squad in a match where points were within reach. 

"From Chelsea’s point of view, Pedro Neto let them down badly. What an idiot getting sent off like that," he told BBC Radio Five Live.

“His comments reflect a growing frustration among the Stamford Bridge faithful, as the club has now seen nine players sent off across all competitions this season. 

“This poor disciplinary record continues to hamper Rosenior’s attempts to secure a top-four finish and progress further in European competition.”
