Kalidou Koulibaly had a fine start to his Chelsea career with his performances against Everton and Tottenham.
After a good game against Spurs, the Senegal international was indeed welcomed to the Premier League with Leeds United’s direct and energetic performance.
Koulibaly had a game to forget at Elland Road, which culminated in an 84th minute red card.
Koulibaly’s red card ensures he has set an unwanted record.
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.
