The Portuguese let his team down badly, picking up two yellow cards within just three minutes of play.

Reports state that after being shown two yellow cards in the space of three minutes and subsequently sent off, Pedro Neto failed to leave the field properly and began verbally abusing the match officials:

"Pedro Neto has been charged following his dismissal in the 70th minute of the Premier League fixture between Chelsea and Arsenal on Sunday, March 1. It is alleged that the player acted improperly by not leaving the field promptly and/or by using abusive language towards the referee or match officials. Pedro Neto must respond by Monday, March 9," the statement reads.

This means the Portuguese winger could put his team in even greater trouble, especially as Chelsea are already struggling with a depleted squad.

This season, Neto has played 40 matches for the Blues, scoring 10 goals and providing 5 assists.
