Chelsea were reduced to ten men in the 38th minute after Moises Caicedo was shown a straight red for a rash tackle of Mikel Merino.
Arsenal may well have suffered the same fate just three minutes later when Hincapie, appeared to swing an elbow at Chalobah, catching him in the face.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Maresca echoed the sentiment he gave when talking to broadcasters after he was told Reece James said there should have been ‘one more red.’
“I think Reece is right,” Maresca said. “They (broadcasters) just asked me about Moi’s red card. It is a red card.
“But why was (Rodrigo) Bentancur against Reece not a red card at Spurs away?
“As a manager, we struggle to understand why they judge them in different ways. Moi is a red card? Yes. Bentancur is a red card? Yes. Why did they not give them a red card?
“It is just that that we struggle to understand. It is a red card. The reality is that it is a red card. Why did they judge it in a different way?”
Maresca then revealed what Taylor said to him when he asked why Hincapie wasn’t sent off.
“The Trevoh one, I asked the referee. He said to me that it was not an elbow. This is what they said.
“He has a black eye. He was (given) ice at half-time. But they judged them in different ways.”
