Chelsea remain the most ill-disciplined team of the current Premier League season. So far, the Blues have already picked up six dismissals—more than any other club in this year's competition.
In the match against Burnley, Rosenoir's men let victory slip away deep into stoppage time. One of the key reasons for the draw was the sending-off of Wesley Fofana, who received a second yellow card in the 72nd minute and was forced to leave the pitch early. That made it their sixth red card of the campaign, with Everton (4), Tottenham (3), and West Ham (3) trailing behind.
It's worth noting that the all-time record for most red cards in a single season belongs to Sunderland, who were shown 14 reds during the 2002/03 campaign. That year, the team finished with fewer than eleven men in more than every third match out of 38 rounds.
