In the 1-0 win over Wolves, Arsenal winger Martinelli exchanged 2 fouls in 6 seconds for 2 yellow cards, which made the commentator also sigh: What is going on?
In the 69th minute, Martinelli whizzed out of the sideline after being clipped with the ball on the left, and Wolves were ready to quickly serve the sideline to play a counterattack. Bourdens picked up the ball and threw it forward, Martinelli went up to interfere with the first time and was pushed by the other side, and referee Oliver looked at it and made an offensively favorable gesture. As a result, six seconds later, When Martinelli was chasing back, he pushed down Kiquinho, who was advancing with the ball, directly behind the side, when Oliver blew the whistle to signal a foul.
When referee Oliver showed Martinelli the first yellow card, the commentator Liu Yue also thought that it was because Martinelli had just pushed the player Bourdains who served the sideline ball, and reissued a yellow card, but he did not expect that oliver would then raise another yellow card to Martinelli, which is two yellows and one red. Liu Yue was surprised and said, "What is this?" Another commentator, Lou Yichen, was also dumbfounded.
Martinelli received 2 consecutive yellow cards in just 6 seconds, not knowing if this is the fastest two yellows and one red in the history of the Premier League.
In the Champions League match against Real Madrid, Inter midfielder Vidal was awarded two consecutive yellow cards in 7 seconds for insulting the referee.
In December, Wolves striker Jimenez applied for two consecutive yellow cards in 31 seconds, when he was called the dumbest red card in Premier League history.
Jimenez's two yellows turned red somewhat similar to Martinelli's, and both of them had a yellowing action that blocked the opponent's kick-off. However, relatively speaking, Martinelli is more unjust, because it is a series of defensive actions within 6 seconds, according to the rules, it is no problem to count the crimes and punish two yellows and one red, that is, it is a little more severe. Fortunately, Arsenal were able to maintain a 1-0 lead until the end of the game with one less player, scoring the crucial 3 points.
