News about Leandro Trossard

Jamie Carragher has claimed that 'great teams have still won with 10 men' during analysis of Arsenal's shock defeat by Bournemouth. The Gunners slipped to their first defeat of the season after a 2-0 loss against the Cherries that was made worse after William Saliba was sent off in the first-half. The Frenchman's dismissal was the third sending off that Mikel Arteta's side have suffered this year - following on from Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard.

Howard Webb has leapt to the defence of Premier League officials by insisting there have only been two VAR errors in the top flight this season. Since being introduced in England's top division in 2019, VAR has caused plenty of controversy, with fans frequently complaining about decisions going against their side.  The length of time needed to make decisions has also been criticised, but PGMOL chief Webb is adamant that the use of the technology is improving and that mistakes are being cut out after a shaky start.

Belgium - who lost to France 2-0 last month - are 15/8 outsiders to upset Les Bleus when they meet again in Brussels tonight. Meanwhile, Didier Deschamps' side are 5/4 favourites. For those anticipating a draw, that is priced at odds of 23/10. Elsewhere, there are four Price Boosts on offer for this clash - the first two of which include Eduardo Camavinga to commit 2+ fouls at 1/1, and for there to be 12+ match shots on target at 3/1. The other two boosts need Christopher Nkunka to have 2+ shots on target at 4/1, and Leandro Trossard and Dembele to both score at 20/1. Nkunku has had six shots on target in his last three starts at a club level, while Trossard and Dembele have combined to score eight goals for club and country across the 2024-25 season to date.

ISAAN KHAN AT THE EMIRATES STADIUM: By the hour mark, Mikel Arteta had seen enough. The score was 1-1. Time for a triple substitution to shake things up. Off went Raheem Sterling, Jorginho and Gabriel Jesus. On came Gabriel Martinelli, Mikel Merino and Leandro Trossard. Eight minutes later, Martinelli scored from a Bukayo Saka cross to set Arsenal on their way to victory over Southampton. Jesus, who had made his first start of the season, could only watch. He is the Arsenal nearly man who always seems to be on the verge of turning the corner - but never quite does.

Mikel Arteta's side secured a tense victory against Leicester on Saturday after James Justin's double cancelled out goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard. But with nerves jangling around the Emirates, an own goal from Wilfried Ndidi edged Arsenal back in front before Kai Havertz struck late on to wrap up the three points. The result kept the Gunners firmly in the Premier League title hunt and Rice, speaking post-match, said he and his team-mates are aware they must be faultless.

IAN HERBERT AT THE EMIRATES STADIUM: There was a time when a vital goal like Arsenal's, in the death throes of a game, would have sent Mikel Arteta barrelling gleefully down the touchline. It was not to everyone's liking. Graeme Souness, for one, respectfully suggested on these pages a few seasons back that he might want to tone things down. That was then. Arteta was the soul of sobriety when Leandro Trossard's 94th-minute deflected shot killed off Leicester, with no theatrics impeding a final mustering of Arsenal's coaching team while the Emirates basked in euphoria.

ISAAN KHAN AT THE EMIRATES STADIUM: At times, it felt like Arsenal vs Mads Hermansen. As he dived one way then the next, the Danish goalkeeper had become the architect for Leicester to nearly walk away with something. It was James Justin's outrageous first-time volley off Wilfred Ndidi's cross that equalised the score at 2-2. Hermansen, however, pulled off a series of saves beyond the call of order to keep his team on hanging. The 24-year-old must've watched a David Raya compilation tape from this season. The heroics today were nearly in that bracket.

Arsenal fans were furious during Saturday's game against Leicester when Wilfred Ndidi avoided a second yellow card despite clearly kicking the ball away. The incident occurred in the 35th minute after Bukayo Saka had been fouled by Stephy Mavididi.  Ndidi - who had been booked four minutes earlier for fouling Riccardo Calafiori - then jogged over to the ball and kicked it past Saka and off the pitch. This was similar to an incident which resulted in Leandro Trossard being sent off away at Manchester City last weekend. Gunners midfielder Declan Rice has also received a second yellow card this season for kicking the ball away and 'delaying the restart' - something referees were instructed to clamp down on over the summer.

IAN HERBERT AT THE EMIRATES: Just as Arsenal looked set to drop two valuable point, Trossard popped up again to bundle home a winner via a deflection off Wilfred Ndidi in the fourth minute of stoppage time, before Kai Havertz poked home from close range to wrap up the victory. But who were the standout performers for the Gunners? And who had a game to forget? Mail Sport's IAN HERBERT was on hand to rate the Arsenal players at the Emirates.

Steve Cooper has begged his players to avoid the same fate as Leandro Trossard when Leicester take on Arsenal today/on Saturday. Trossard earned a controversial second booking during Arsenal's 2-2 draw at Manchester City last weekend when he was deemed to have delayed a restart by kicking the ball away. With Gunners boss Mikel Arteta and the Emirates Stadium crowd likely to be alive to any similar situation this weekend, Cooper has urged the Foxes to think before they act.

ISAAN KHAN: Mikel Arteta has mocked critics of Arsenal's recent playing style as he compared calls to attack Manchester City with 10 men to wearing 'flip flops and shorts' in the rain. The Gunners came under fire after the 2-2 draw last Sunday having retreated to their own box following Leandro Trossard's second yellow card for kicking the ball away just before half-time. Ahead of Arsenal's match against Leicester this afternoon, Arteta said: 'I want to win. The way we prepare the games and the way we want to play - in our way.

Tottenham's social media team have infuriated Arsenal fans with a post on X, formerly Twitter, following their 3-0 win over Qarabag. In a game delayed by travel chaos, Ange Postecoglou's side were reduced to ten men when Radu Dragusin was shown a straight red card on seven minutes. Rather than adopt a more conservative approach in the wake of the sending off the hosts went on to the front foot against their Azerbaijani opponents.

SAMI MOKBEL: Back at the ranch, Arsenal's squad watched 'the anger' unfold with a wry smile. Their phones have pinged regularly with messages, many of which have made similar observations about the strength of Manchester City's reaction to Sunday's intense 2-2 draw. Now that the dust has settled, Mail Sport can bring you Arsenal players' side of the story - their sense that the noise that emanated from the City camp in the aftermath of the Battle of the Etihad points towards a team that is 'rattled'.

The former midfield hardman pilloried the Gunners for 'just booting it' after going down to 10 men and has argued that their similar showing against Brighton proves their minnow mindset. Arsenal almost clung on for victory against City after playing the second half without Leandro Trossard - similar to their defensive display after losing Declan Rice in the 1-1 draw with Brighton in August. Ian Wright felt Keane was too harsh in blaming Mikel Arteta 's men for resorting to a tactic that had them in the lead until John Stones ' 98th-minute intervention.

SAMI MOKBEL: Raheem Sterling makes his first Arsenal start since his shock arrival from Chelsea against Bolton in the Carabao Cup tonight. The experienced attacker joined the Gunners on loan on transfer deadline day but was yet to start a match for his new club prior to being named in the line-up to face Bolton. Sterling, though, will take to the field from the start in a clash that will see Mikel Arteta make a host of changes following the weekend's exhausting visit to Manchester City which saw the Gunners play the entire second half with 10 men after Leandro Trossard was sent off towards the end of the opening 45 minutes.

Jamie Carragher has suggested that Arsenal are more streetwise than many of their rivals when it comes to time-wasting and taking advantage of the laws of the game. Mikel Arteta's Gunners were accused of wasting time during Sunday's 2-2 draw at Manchester City after Leandro Trossard was sent off late in the first half. Goalkeeper David Raya was alleged to be one of Arsenal's chief time-wasters after he sat on the ground on multiple occasions while complaining about an injury.

Mikel has hinted that Arsenal may have suffered a serious injury during their 2-2 draw with Manchester City.  The Gunners played the entire second-half with 10 men, with Leandro Trossard shown a red with his side 2-1 after Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel cancelled out Erling Haaland's early opener.  However, John Stones ensured the points were shared at the Etihad with a last-ditch strike having come off the bench in the latter minutes of the match. 

Arsenal's tactics during the second half of Sunday's 2-2 draw at Manchester City divided opinion. After having Leandro Trossard sent off just before the interval when the Gunners were leading 2-1, Mikel Arteta side were widely praised for frustrating City - who only managed to score an equaliser in the 98th minute. However, others were less impressed with what they described as time-wasting and even 'dark arts'. Former England manager Sam Allardyce was asked for his take on Arsenal's tactics during an appearance on talkSPORT on Tuesday.

Footage has re-emerged of Arsenal appearing to deliberately waste time during a crucial match with Liverpool at Anfield last year, after the Gunners were accused of using the 'dark arts' in their draw with Manchester City on Sunday. The top of the table clash at the Etihad threatened to boil over on multiple occasions, with City furious at Arsenal for slowing the game down as they tried to hang on to their 2-1 lead before John Stones rescued a point for the hosts in stoppage time. After Leandro Trossard was given a second yellow card for kicking the ball away on the stroke of half time, several Arsenal players sat down on the pitch to receive treatment in the second half, including goalkeeper David Raya after being instructed to by teenage substitute Myles Lewis-Skelly, who was subsequently booked.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has refused to accept the blame for red cards after Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice's dismissals in recent matches. Trossard was shown a second yellow card for kicking the ball away when Arsenal led 2-1 against Man City on Sunday. The Gunners were ultimately pegged back in second half stoppage time, with John Stones scoring an equaliser for the reigning Premier League champions.

The forward was dismissed with a second yellow card eight minutes into first-half stoppage time after he fouled Bernardo Silva and hoofed the ball away. It sparked flashbacks of Declan Rice's sending-off earlier this season against Brighton after he nudged the ball away from Joel Veltman before a free-kick.

Richard Keys has sided with Mikel Arteta after the Arsenal manager fumed at his team's treatment by referee Michael Oliver during their 2-2 draw with Manchester City . The Spaniard was left incensed by Leandro Trossard 's two yellow cards and clearly made his feelings known on the booking for delaying a restart. Trossard is the second Arsenal star to see red for kicking the ball away after Declan Rice was also caught during the draw against Brighton last month.

The title rivals played out a fierce 2-2 draw at the Etihad with Pep Guardiola 's men rescuing a point through John Stones deep into injury time. Erling Haaland gave the champions an early lead but the Gunners hit back through goals from Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel in an action-packed first half. And there was more action to come as Trossard was shown a second yellow card for kicking the ball away in the dying minutes.

PGMOL chief Howard Webb (left) is set to face intense scrutiny over the standard of refereeing from several Premier League clubs who are reportedly 'angry' at decisions. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta most recently raged when Leandro Trossard was correctly sent off for booting the ball away unnecessarily when already on a booking in Sunday's blockbuster clash against title-rivals, City.
