Morgan Rogers has been lucky not to add another red card to Chelsea’s poor discipline record

The Pride of London argues that Chelsea forward Morgan Rogers has been fortunate to avoid several red cards this season. Video footage from Sunday's match against Sunderland showed Rogers' knee making contact with Trai Hume's head, though VAR decided no offence was committed. The writer contends this incident highlights ongoing discipline issues under manager Xabi Alonso, noting Chelsea have accumulated nine Premier League red cards since last season.

The writer points to two other controversial incidents involving Rogers against Everton and Tottenham. Rogers escaped a sending-off against Everton following a challenge on James Garner, which former referee Mike Dean viewed as worthy of a straight red. Gary Neville also labeled Rogers' tackle on Conor Gallagher against Tottenham as ludicrous, with the writer arguing that any suspension would significantly harm Chelsea.
