10 Most Shocking Red Cards In Premier League History

8. Kieran Gibbs - March 22nd, 2014

In what will go down as one of the strangest decisions in Premier League history, Arsenal's Kieran Gibbs received his marching orders despite not actually doing anything wrong. With Arsenal 2-0 down to Chelsea in Arsene Wenger's 1,000th game at the Gunners, things went from bad to worse when referee Andre Marriner stepped in with an almighty howler of a decision. After a disastrous first 10 minutes at Stamford Bridge, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain decided to produce a save that Petr Cech would have been proud of to stop an Eden Hazard shot that was actually sailing wide of the post. However, it was the young full-back who was strangely shown the red card and despite angry protestations by the Arsenal players - including an admission of guilt by the Ox - Marriner stuck by his decision and Gibbs went for an early shower. It didn't exactly get much better for Arsenal as they ended up being hammered 6-0. Happy 1,000th game, Arsene.
