BREAKING: Chelsea player set unwanted record after 3-0 defeat against Leeds United
Kalidou Koulibaly’s performances against Everton and Tottenham gave his Chelsea career a strong start.
The Senegal international was in fact welcomed to the Premier League with Leeds United’s direct and spirited performance following a strong showing against Spurs.
At Elland Road, Koulibaly had a terrible game that ended with a red card in the 84th minute.
He has unintentionally broken a record thanks to Koulibaly’s red card.
According to OptaJoe, he has picked up six red cards since the start of the 2017/18 season, more than anyone else in the top five leagues.
Four of the red cards was a direct red card while playing for Napoli. The Leeds game became the second time he would get sent off for two yellow cards.
Koulibaly will now miss the game against Leicester City this weekend.
Thomas Tuchel is yet to sign his final defensive target, as the Blues are pushing hard to sign Wesley Fofana from Leicester City before transfer deadline.
