The greatest of Var: Gallagher sent a statement on social media following his red card.

After receiving two yellow cards in the first half of Sunday’s Premier League encounter against Brighton, Conor Gallagher received his second red card of his career. Chelsea showed incredible resiliency and won 3-2 at Stamford Bridge despite his early departure.

The 23-year-old’s ban as a result of his dismissal will prevent him from playing in the league match against Manchester United during the midweek. With today’s victory, Chelsea moved up to 10th place in the league table, giving its fans cause for confidence.

Gallagher posted a statement on social media after Chelsea defeated Brighton. In addition to expressing gratitude to his teammates, the acting captain apologized deeply.

I’m very happy for the boys—what a great victory today! I apologize for giving the guys the red card and placing them in that situation. Support was first-rate as usual.
