Wesley Fofana was given his marching orders during the second half of Chelsea's clash against Burnley. The Blues defender was shown his second yellow card following a late challenge on James Ward-Prowse.
Lunging for a loose ball in the middle of the park, Fofana planted his boot on the ankle of the former West Ham midfielder. Lewis Smith booked the France international, whose dismissal dropped the curtain on Cole Palmer's afternoon at Stamford Bridge.
Liam Rosenior replaced the Chelsea talisman with Tosin Adarabioyo in an effort to shore up the backline. A few moments later, Jorrel Hato was brought on for Malo Gusto, and Joao Pedro, who put the west Londoners ahead in the opening minutes of the tie, made way for Liam Delap.
Including Enzo Maresca's red card against Liverpool, it was the ninth sending off of the season for Chelsea.
