The Blues had now failed to score in 13 games in the Premier League in 2023; more than any other team. . Malo Gusto was shown a yellow card in the 55th minute but was upgraded to a red card following a VAR review for serious foul play. Aged 20 years and 128 days, he became the youngest Chelsea player to be sent-off in the Premier League since Jon Obi Mikel against Reading in 2006 (19 years and 175 days).
