Every Premier League referee’s record against Arsenal for the 2024/25 season including results and cards

Add as preferred source on Google

Arsenal and referees have been much-discussed over the Premier League season so far, with some big decisions going against the side so far.

Declan Rice was shown a red card for delaying the restart against Brighton – a decision that infuriated many, despite players being told that those rules would be clamped down on.

It came back to bite the Gunners hard again as Leandro Trossard was also shown a red card against Manchester City for clearing the ball after committing a foul in the middle of the pitch.

Then there was a sending-off for William Saliba in the clash with Bournemouth, with the defender being the last man as he pulled down Evanilson just after the halfway line.

Combine that with injury issues as Mikel Arteta has been cursing his luck across the board for Arsenal so far.

So with that said, here’s a look at every referee’s record for the north London outfit this season.
