Wesley Fofana lucky to avoid booking for stamp

Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana avoided a booking after a stamp on Arsenal's Declan Rice during a recent match. Former referee Jeff Winter noted that Fofana was "very lucky" as the action appeared deliberate. Arsenal won the match 1-0, with Mikel Merino scoring the only goal. The team controlled the game, despite a nervous moment from goalkeeper David Raya. Fofana received a yellow card later for delaying a throw-in. Arsenal has not lost to Chelsea in league play since August 2021 and remains 12 points behind league leaders Liverpool.
