Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang red card: Why was Arsenal star sent off against Crystal Palace?

Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was sent off for a late foul on Crystal Palace’s Max Meyer. Referee Paul Tierney initially gave the star a yellow card but it was changed to red following a VAR check.

In the wake of Aubameyang’s sending off, Gunners fans have flooded to social media.

One wrote on Twitter: “Aubameyang sent off. Will miss the Chelsea game.”

Another wrote: “Can’t argue with Auba red card, but can argue the VAR consistency.

“If this was a red card, then those 2 challenges on Nicolas Pepe last month are also a red card.”

A third commented: “All day red that is, disgusting challenge by Auba, VAR did its work correctly there, however some of Palace players should be booked before that too.”
